Wei Qing had long wanted to shake off Xiao Shunyang who had been keeping him from hugging his wife and child. He could only watch and not hug them along the way, which was suffocating.
However, it was not wise to shake off Xiao Shunyang in the Great Zhou. Xiao Shunyang had brought Emperor Jing Xuan’s official document. With his order, the border would intercept and investigate them.
However, once they entered the southern border, they would be out of the royal family’s sphere of influence.
Wei Qing said coldly, “Get rid of this hindrance tomorrow!”
The rice cake was too delicious. The four little ones did not have enough at all, mainly because Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu did not have enough. They were energetic and had a shocking appetite.
Su Xiaoxiao brought the three children to buy it.
This shop was doing well and there were many people queuing up.
As Su Xiaoxiao was queuing up, an uncertain voice suddenly came from her side. “Daya?”
Su Xiaoxiao never expected to meet Liu Ping here.
Liu Ping actually did not recognize Su Daya. He recognized the triplets first. Su Daya had changed too much. When she went to the capital, she was a fat girl. It had only been a year, but she had already lost so much weight.
Su Xiaoxiao greeted him and said to the three little ones, “Do you remember Uncle Liu?”
“I remember!” Dahu said. “Sister Meizi’s father.”
She was also Little Wu’s husband, a former neighbor of the Su family. Later on, they split up with their family and lived alone.
“Is Sister Wu alright?”
Little Wu was Su Xiaoxiao’s first employee. She was agile, smart, and capable.
She learned her skills as soon as she started. Now that she was the master of Su Ji, she had also taken in a few disciples.
Liu Ping was here to buy goods for Su Ji. Su Ji’s business was expading well, so Su Yuniang spread it out to the prefecture and provincial cities. The price of spices in Qingzhou was too high, so it would be much cheaper to buy them in White Water Town.
“Good, she’s very good! Yuniang is also well… Everyone is doing quite well! They just miss you!” Liu Ping said excitedly.
In the carriage in front, the coachman waved at Liu Ping. “Brother Liu! We’re going to sail! Hurry up! Otherwise, you won’t be able to make it!”
Such a large merchant ship was escorted by soldiers and they would not need to worry about encountering pirates. Its shortcoming was that it was rare. If they missed this trip, the next trip would be five days later.
“That’s Dongzi, our Su Ji’s friend in the provincial city.”
Liu Ping muttered to himself, “Why are you rushing me? This is the boss!”
“Daya… I… that… I have to go!”
If he didn’t leave now, he really wouldn’t be able to make it!
He had many things to say to Daya and wanted to ask her about her recent situation. Why was she here…
“Brother Liu!” The coachman was anxious.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Brother Liu, go ahead. I’ll return to Qingzhou in a few days.”
Liu Ping’s eyes lit up. “That’s good! I’ll go back and tell your Sister Wu and Yuniang. They’ll definitely be overjoyed!
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said, “Ah, I almost forgot something else. Your cousin from the Chen family passed the middle school examination. His ranking is inferior to Young Master Shen’s. Young Master Shen has been recommended to the capital. He also went to the capital to take the examination a few days ago.”
“Oh, what’s my cheap cousin’s name again? Chen…” She couldn’t remember such a person at all.
“Chen Haoyuan!” Liu Ping said.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh, that seems to be the name. I didn’t expect him to have passed the middle school examination too.”
Liu Ping said, “What I want to tell you is not about his examination. I know that the Su family has completely cut ties with the Chen family. It’s your mother. When Chen Haoyuan was rushing to the capital for the examination, he bumped into Yuniang and was accidentally provoked by her to reveal it. So your mother is not the Chen family’s biological daughter.. She was carried over from outside!”
