Then, Zhu Xiuyuan said some witticisms and jokes in the letter, which successfully made Dong Shuyu laugh.

She, who has always had a pretty face with a cold face, couldn't help but say "Pfft"...

The interaction between people is so strange.

The day before yesterday, Dong Shuyu still hated Zhu Xiuyuan in his heart, but after Zhu Xiuyuan's "letter apology", Dong Shuyu no longer hated him.

Yesterday, after being baptized by Zhu Xiuyuan's comics, Dong Shuyu seemed to have recovered and was thinking about business matters.

Today, after eating the pastries carefully prepared by Zhu Xiuyuan and reading this letter, Dong Shuyu's heart, even the slightest feeling of strangeness towards Zhu Xiuyuan, completely disappeared!

She felt that the relationship between her and Zhu Xiuyuan had returned to its previous state.

Moreover, after this "break-repair" process, the relationship between them seems to have become closer!

If Zhu Xiuyuan came to see her now, she would definitely not refuse!

With random thoughts in his mind, Dong Shuyu held the exquisite paper and continued to read down.

At the end of the letter, Zhu Xiuyuan said that he would set off tomorrow to the border of Yangzhou to inspect the construction of salt fields, and would not be able to return until about three to five days.

Zhu Xiuyuan also said that he had prepared a big surprise and would give it to her after returning from Yangzhou...

After reading all the contents of the letter, Dong Shuyu held the hand holding the paper and slowly lowered it.

Finally he put it on his knees.

But her thoughts were wandering to nowhere.

By the way, Zhu Xiuyuan's trip to Yangzhou has actually been delayed for two full days.

In the past two days, he had tried every means to make Dong Shuyu happy, and he had no time to care.

The salt fields along the coast of Yangzhou, under the supervision of the eunuch Jiawu, the eunuch of the inner treasury, had already built a "test field", and they were waiting for Zhu Xiuyuan to leave for Yangzhou to give personal instructions on how to dry the salt.

Because it was more important to make his woman happy, Zhu Xiuyuan did not go.

He only told Jiawu about the method of drying salt and asked him to send someone to try drying it first.

After Zhu Xiuyuan has some free time, we can go and see the results of their salt drying.

Now, there should be no problems on Dong Shuyu's side, so the trip to Yangzhou is scheduled.

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Zhu Xiuyuan set off after breakfast.

Go to Hai'an County, Yangzhou, and personally "check and accept" the results of their salt drying during the Sino-Japanese War.

Oh, by the way, Dong Shuzhen also followed.

In fact, the main purpose of her trip this time was to avoid the "kidney-tonifying seed prescription".

During the few days when Dong Shuyu "claimed to be ill", Dong Cheng ordered others to boil the medicine, and then he would watch Dong Shuzhen drink it every dinner time.

Dong Shuzhen was really scared. Every day during dinner time, she spent every second like a year!

Now that there is such a good opportunity to go to Yangzhou to escape for a few days, she naturally needs to seize it and drink as few medicines as possible...

Zhu Xiuyuan and the others set out from the pier in the north of the capital, took a large ship, and sailed down the Yangtze River, quickly arriving at Jiangdu City in Yangzhou.

After resting in the city for a while, they changed land routes, took a carriage, and headed east out of the city.

It was a leisurely journey. Their convoy first passed through Hailing County and continued on its way without stopping.

It was not until dark that they finally arrived at the county seat of Hai'an County.

Ten miles outside the city, the magistrate of Hai'an County, together with all the county officials and some people under the eunuch Jiawu, the eunuch of the inner treasury, had been waiting for a long time.

After simply dealing with the magistrate of Hai'an County, everyone entered the city and checked into the best inn in the city.

Because it was already getting late today, they were inevitably tired after traveling all day, so they rested for the night and rushed to the beach tomorrow to inspect the results of their salt drying.

It was dawn the next day.

Zhu Xiuyuan took his wife and a group of maidservants with him, and under the leadership of the eunuch and eunuch, they left the city and headed east.

We came directly to the coast, near the selected "test field".

Zhu Xiuyuan carefully inspected their results and found that there were still many problems in the entire salt drying process. Although they produced some coarse salt, the efficiency was not high...

So Zhu Xiuyuan stayed in the salt field for a whole day, instructing the salt farmers to "optimize the process."

When the sun was setting in the west, Zhu Xiuyuan returned to the city with his troops.

In the rickety carriage, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen sat together.

They were chatting when suddenly, the carriage stopped suddenly and both of their bodies shook.

"What happened?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked with a frown.

"My dear friend, something happened in front of the motorcade. It seems that someone suddenly rushed out and blocked the way..." Yan Dashan's voice came.

"Is someone blocking the way?"

Zhu Xiuyuan was surprised, opened the curtain of the carriage, and jumped out of the carriage.

Dong Shuzhen was also very curious, and followed closely behind, standing behind Zhu Xiuyuan, turning her head to look around, looking like she was watching all directions and listening in all directions to protect her husband.

"Who blocked the road? Why?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked.

He was thinking to himself, could someone block the road and complain?

Their motorcade is actually very ostentatious, and there are also royal generals in silver helmets. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that the owner of this motorcade is an extraordinary person, a high official.

That's why Zhu Xiuyuan thought that someone might have blocked the road and complained.

At this time, there were quarreling and pulling sounds from the front of the motorcade. In addition to the voices of the generals, a woman's voice was also mixed in the process.

"Bring people here!"

Zhu Xiuyuan shook his clothes and prepared to indulge in redressing people's grievances.

Soon, the generals dragged a woman over and threw her on the ground, about a foot away from Zhu Xiu.

No, we shouldn’t use the word “woman”, we should use the word “female beggar”.

This woman has unkempt hair, dirty clothes, and looks like a beggar.

But her movements while lying on the ground were actually... faintly elegant!

Or rather enchanting.

Elegant or enchanting, and unkempt, formed a strong contrast, which immediately aroused Zhu Xiuyuan's curiosity.

He thought to himself that this girl must be the daughter of a noble family. Then her family suddenly fell into decline and she became a beggar.

Now, she took the risk to block the road and file a complaint, presumably to avenge her family. Her family must have been harmed...

"Who are you and why are you blocking the way? Tell me!"

When Zhu Xiuyuan was thinking wildly, Dong Shuzhen behind him had already jumped in front of him, vaguely protecting him behind him.

At the same time, Xia Wu also followed and stood in front of Zhu Xiuyuan together.

Then Xia Wu asked the female beggar.

The female beggar cried and struggled to get up. She raised her head and stared at Dong Shuzhen and Zhu Xiuyuan behind Dong Shuzhen.

At this time, everyone also saw her appearance clearly.

Sure enough, he was unkempt, his hair was messy, his face was pitch black...
Chapter completed!
