Raising husband in Zhai Douwen

Early in the morning, the servants loaded the box into the carriage. The three of Yang Jiming bid farewell to the old lady first, and then to Yang Zhengyi and the eldest lady.

After Yang Jiming helped Aunt Du and Shang Jiayan get into the carriage, he followed on horseback.

Bai Ping and Huai An sat in the front carriage together to serve, and the other maids got into another carriage together, and the accompanying nurse followed on horseback.

After leaving the capital, Chen Tao rode to Yang Jiming's side, "Third Young Master, the journey is long, do you want to sit in the carriage for a while?"

"I'm not tired yet, I'll go to the carriage to rest when I'm tired."

Chen Tao lowered his voice and said, "Ji Ming, do you think we will encounter bandits and thieves along the way?"

"We are following the official path, so it shouldn't be possible."

Chen Tao sighed softly, "Pretend to be the nursing home of the Hou Mansion, you can't chat casually, I'm just too boring."

"Where's Lin Yaohui?"

"That kid leaned next to the carriage in the back, his face was full of peach blossoms."

Yang Jiming glanced back, and sure enough, he saw Lin Yaohui riding behind the carriage, chatting and laughing with the maids in the carriage.

On this trip, Xu Yihuan sent Chen Tao and Lin Yaohui to pretend to be the Nursing Home of the Hou Mansion, and went to Suzhou with Yang Jiming for an unannounced visit.

In the carriage, Aunt Du asked Shang Jiayan: "Third Young Madam, why haven't you seen the servant next to Third Young Master?"

"Auntie is talking about Fuquan, right? He is the shopkeeper of Chenxiang Winery now, so he didn't come with me."

Aunt Du was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help asking with concern: "Then who is running errands with the third young master now?"

"When he needs someone now, it's Huai'an who takes care of him."

Aunt Du glanced at Huai An who was beside Shang Jiayan, "This is the person next to you, so it's not a big deal."

Shang Jiayan lowered his eyes slightly, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will arrange a servant for Ji Ming as soon as possible."

"Third Young Madam, don't blame me for talking too much. Although the Third Young Master has never had anyone close by to serve him, if he goes out without a servant, it will be unattractive."

"What my aunt said was that I was negligent."

"Third Young Madam, don't blame me for being troublesome." Aunt Du smiled apologetically.

Shang Jiayan smiled slightly, and said in a warm voice: "Auntie is the elder, I should thank Auntie for reminding me."

"Okay, okay." Aunt Du smiled gratified and satisfied.

Yang Jiming glanced at the teahouse on the side of the road ahead, and said to the carriage: "Auntie, Jing Shuo, there is a teahouse ahead, let's rest for a while before we go on our way."

Shang Jiayan opened the carriage door and said to him, "Okay."

Yang Jiming said hurriedly: "Sit in quickly, and be careful not to fall out."

Shang Jiayan smiled and closed the car door.

The coachman smiled and said, "Don't worry, third young master, I can drive the car very steadily."

"Okay, when we arrive in Suzhou, I will reward you well."

"Thank you, Third Young Master."

They had a sip of hot tea in the teahouse, rested for a while, and continued on their way.

In the evening, they came to a small town and stayed in an inn.

Shang Jiayan simply washed up, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

Yang Jiming sat by the bed and said distressedly: "I'm sure I can't adapt to the first day of driving. You must be exhausted. Tomorrow we will only drive for half a day."

Shang Jiayan opened his eyes, tried his best to cheer up, and sat up from the bed, "Don't affect the schedule because of me."

"Suzhou is right there, it doesn't matter if you are a few days late." Yang Jiming pressed him to lie down.

"I'm fine, just rest overnight."

"Squint your eyes for a while, I'll go out and have a look, and bring the food into the house later."

"Ah."

Yang Jiming went out lightly and closed the door from the outside.

Bai Ping came out from the next room with a basin in her hand, "Third young master."

"Auntie is resting?"

"Back to the young master, my aunt has been riding in the carriage for a whole day, and she is a little tired, so she rested first."

Yang Jiming nodded slightly, and went downstairs to have a look.

Suddenly, Chen Tao rushed over from the side, "Third young master."

Yang Jiming was taken aback by him, "Brother Tao, it's been a day on the road, why don't you take a rest?"

"I'll come out to take a look, and I will take turns guarding at night."

"Why did you arrange a night watch? I'll go and tell Uncle Zhong."

Yang Zhong is the second housekeeper of Wu Muhou's mansion, and Yang Zhengyi specially asked him to accompany him to arrange for Aunt Du's family visit.

Chen Tao hurriedly said: "Don't go, I'm your nursing home now. I'll go have dinner with everyone first, and you should eat and rest quickly."

"it is good."

Behind the pillar upstairs, Bai Ping watched Yang Jiming and Chen Tao get together to talk and separate, raised a faint smile, and went into the room to serve Aunt Du.

"Auntie guessed right, that Chen Tao is not an ordinary nursing home."

"Looking at their familiarity, they should be from Shuntian Mansion." Aunt Du frowned slightly, "Let someone pay close attention, I want to make sure that the third young master is not harmed."

"Yes, please rest assured, Auntie."

Early the next morning, Shang Jiayan regained his energy, and Yang Jiming became even more energetic.

When Shang Jiayan and Aunt Du walked towards the carriage together, Yang Jiming took Shang Jiayan's hand and said, "Jing Shuo, ride a horse with me."

Shang Jiayan froze for a moment, feeling a little moved.

Aunt Du smiled and said, "You guys go ride the horses, and come and rest in the carriage when you're tired."

"it is good."

Yang Jiming helped Shang Jiayan get on the horse, and then sat behind him, protecting him in his arms.

Shang Jiayan couldn't help thinking of the last time we rode together with him, and asked with a smile: "Do you remember the last time we rode a horse together?"

"Of course I remember. When the old lady of the second sister-in-law's family celebrated her birthday, the eldest lady deliberately made it difficult for you and asked the servants to prepare a carriage less." Speaking of that, Yang Jiming couldn't help frowning.

Shang Jiayan turned to look at him, and lightly bumped his chin with his head, "Why do you still hold grudges?"

"I remember my own badness, and it's my fault to make you wronged."

Shang Jiayan leaned into his arms and said softly, "That's nothing, I'm not wronged at all."

"..." Yang Jiming rubbed his chin on the top of his head, which strengthened his determination to become an official.

Shang Jiayan said with a shallow smile: "Although you have no money or power, there are very few officials in the entire capital who can live a more comfortable life than me."

Yang Jiming chuckled and said, "Is that enough?"

Shang Jiayan snorted, "Not satisfied, treat me better in the future."

"Okay." Yang Jiming smiled, "But, did you just say that I have no money or power?"

Shang Jiayan puffed his mouth and muttered softly: "I'm not wrong."

"Do you still remember our bridal chamber wedding night, you said you didn't dislike me." Yang Jiming said dejectedly, but he was wronged.

Shang Jiayan chuckled several times, and said with a long ending: "I don't dislike it."

In the carriage, Aunt Du couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard the cheerful laughter of her son and daughter-in-law.

They headed south all the way, admiring the scenery along the way.

When approaching Suzhou, Chen Tao, who was asking for directions, came back and said, "I can't make it to the city today. There is an inn in front of me. Let's stay for one night and then go to the city tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

So, they lived in the inn again.

When the innkeeper and the shop assistant saw a guest coming, they hurried forward to greet him.

Yang Zhong walked in first, looked at the empty inn, and couldn't help frowning, saying, "Why are there no guests?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "There are no other merchants passing by today, so there are no other customers."

Yang Zhong turned back to Yang Jiming and said, "Master, do we live here?"

Yang Jiming glanced at it. The inn was not considered dilapidated, but was kept clean and tidy. He said, "Let's just stay here for one night."

Immediately, the shopkeeper and shop assistant greeted them with smiles.

"Guest officers, please go to the upper room to rest."

Yang Zhong said: "Take all the horses to the stables and feed them some good fodder."

"Okay! Guest officers, please rest assured that the best fodder must be used."

After staying in the guest room, Shang Jiayan said to Yang Jiming: "Do you think this inn is a bit strange?"

Yang Jiming was slightly taken aback, "Black shop?"

Shang Jiayan frowned, "I don't know, please be careful."

"Okay, you rest first, I'll remind Uncle Zhong." Yang Jiming hadn't stepped out yet, "No, I don't worry about you being alone, don't leave my side."

Shang Jiayan smiled softly, "We just moved in, so it's unlikely, you go and come back quickly."

"Well, I'll be right back."

Yang Jiming hurried to find Yang Zhong and asked him to arrange the night watch.

Yang Zhong nodded and said yes, reassuring him.

However, after one dinner, everyone was tricked.

The guards all fell down, the innkeeper and the guys turned over their cages with bright eyes.

Shang Jiayan pushed Yang Jiming to wake him up, and said in a low voice, "Ji Ming, there is some movement downstairs."

"Never mind, go on sleeping." Yang Jiming put his arms around his waist without opening his eyes.

Shang Jiayan thought for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Uncle Zhong and the others, have they already prepared?"

Yang Jiming rolled over on top of him, "I can't hide anything from you." After saying that, he started to kiss him.

Shang Jiayan realized that the situation was not right, so he quickly pushed him, "Auntie lives next door, she will be heard."

"Daughter-in-law, hold back and don't call out..."

Boom boom boom!

Chen Tao slammed on the door outside, shouting at the top of his voice, "Third young master, this is a black shop, and the shopkeeper and the guys have all been taken down by us."

Shang Jiayan pushed him away, "Go out and have a look."

Yang Jiming wanted to swear, so he got up and got dressed with a dark face.

Shang Jiayan smiled lightly, got up and changed his clothes, "I'll go with you."

Yang Jiming hugged him, "Just for a while."

Boom boom boom!

"Three young masters!"

Yang Jiming's face was as black as charcoal, he opened the door and said angrily: "Didn't I say you will interrogate first? Where is he? Lead the way!"

"It's in the lobby downstairs." Chen Tao realized belatedly, no wonder everyone was unwilling to notify Yang Jiming just now.

Yang Jiming took Shang Jiayan's hand and went downstairs, the store manager and the guys were tied up and knelt in the lobby.

"Misunderstanding, it's just a misunderstanding."

"We didn't want to harm anyone, so please let us go!"

Yang Jiming said: "It's simple, send you to the government early tomorrow morning, and explain to the people in the government yourself."

"Don't!" the shopkeeper begged, "Once you enter the government, you have to lose half your life if you don't die."

Yang Jiming said: "As long as you haven't done anything bad, what are you afraid of?"

The shopkeeper said: "The yamen is a place where people can eat people. Once you go in, no matter whether you have committed a crime or not, you can't get out without paying enough money."

The store clerk also said: "If you don't have money, you will be punished."

Another guy said: "The inn has not been in business for a long time. We met you when we gave medicine to the guests for the first time. We really haven't done anything bad."

"Yes, please forgive us this time."

The shopkeeper and the guys kept begging for mercy.

Yang Jiming asked, "Is what you said true?"

"It's true."

"Which yamen is it?"

"In the whole of Suzhou, the big and small yamen are exactly the same."

Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan looked at each other, and the others were also shocked.

The shopkeeper said: "If you don't believe me, gentlemen, you can go to the nearby village to ask in the morning. If we tell half a lie, we will starve to death on the street."

Yang Jiming pondered slightly, and then said: "Uncle Zhong, you arrange someone to watch them first, and then go to the vicinity to inquire about them tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Third Young Master."

Early the next morning, Chen Tao and others searched the neighborhood, and what the surrounding people said was the same as the innkeeper and the guys.

Aunt Du looked at one of the guys, and the more she looked at it, the more familiar it became.Pointing at him, she asked, "Did you learn to cook in Baoweizhai before?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly replied: "Madam knows Zhang Qu? Lao Zhang used to be the cook of Baoweizhai."

Zhang Qu said in shock: "This lady recognizes me? You are... Missy!"

Aunt Du nodded slightly.

With a plop, Zhang Qu suddenly knelt down, "Miss, aunt, please save my master!"

Aunt Du couldn't help asking: "What's going on?"

"Auntie, it's my master Uncle Qi. His son, daughter-in-law and grandson were all killed by the government last year. He is still in prison at such an age. Please save him!" Zhang Qu kowtowed repeatedly.

Aunt Du hurriedly said, "Stop knocking, get up quickly."

Yang Zhong personally helped him up.

Aunt Du said: "After we enter the city, I will send someone to inquire about Uncle Qi first."

"Thank you, great aunt, thank you, great aunt."

Aunt Du couldn't help but look solemn, she recognized Uncle Qi.

Uncle Qi used to be the head chef of Baoweizhai, which was the Du family's business.Before she got married, she also learned some cooking skills from Uncle Qi.Unfortunately, Uncle Qi said that she lacks some cooking talent.

Yang Jiming looked at Aunt Du worriedly, and said, "Auntie, it's time for us to go."

Aunt Du pointed to the shopkeeper and the guys and asked, "Where are they?"

Yang Jiming looked at Zhang Qu thoughtfully, and said, "Let them go first."

The innkeeper and the guys quickly expressed their thanks.

Yang Zhong commanded his followers to carry the box and cage onto the carriage.

Before setting off, Zhang Qu chased him out, and shouted into the carriage, "Auntie, I want to go to the city with you, and I want to see Uncle Qi."

Aunt Du asked Bai Ping to open the car door, and she sat on the side of the car and said to him, "I'm going back to my hometown to visit my relatives, so I shouldn't cause trouble. I will help with Uncle Qi's affairs."

Zhang Qu froze on the spot in disappointment.

Yang Jiming got on his horse and said to him, "If you want to enter the city, you can go there by yourself, and you don't have to go with us."

The carriage rolled away, and the shopkeeper patted Zhang Qu on the shoulder and said, "Clean up and set off, don't cause unnecessary trouble to your old master."

"Hey." Zhang Qu doesn't understand very well, he just needs to know what he wants to do.

In the carriage, Aunt Du said to Shang Jiayan: "Baoweizhai is the first restaurant opened by my father, and Uncle Qi is the first chef of Baoweizhai. Uncle Qi's cooking skills are really good. It’s a pity that I can’t learn at all.”

Shang Jiayan listened quietly and nodded slightly.

Aunt Du sighed softly, "Zhang Qu said that Uncle Qi's family was killed."

Shang Jiayan persuaded gently: "Auntie, don't be sad, if Uncle Qi's family is killed, we will find a way to give them justice."

Aunt Du sighed slightly, neither nodded nor shook her head.
