Chapter 267 Arrived at Zhaoming

Fortunately, all four children were fine, except for the stick on Tao'er's back which was a little troublesome. However, the doctor said that she would be fine after taking some medicine and taking good care of herself for ten days or half a month.

In addition, for the scars on the two girls' bodies, the doctor prescribed two bottles of scar removal cream.

Those prescriptions cost only a hundred coins, but this scar removal cream costs one or two ounces of silver per bottle.

Originally the two girls thought it was too expensive and didn't want it, but Erhe disagreed.

"This money was originally given by the Zhao family to compensate you for your injuries. Why save it? If mother and aunt come back and find out that you saved this money, you will definitely suffer the consequences."

The two girls thought so too. They had given them fifteen taels this morning, so it would be a waste if they didn't use it.

After figuring this out, Mei paid the money readily.

It was already afternoon when they came out of Huichun Hall. Aji had to follow up on the matter of the pure dew bottles in the next two days and couldn't get away, so he wanted Acheng to go back with them.

Ah Cheng is strong and smart, and is the most suitable among the three guys.

Several children rejected Aji's kindness. Firstly, the store was already busy, and they were afraid that Aji would not be able to handle the work if another employee left.

Secondly, the Zhao family had just suffered such a big loss today, and I think they wouldn’t dare to take any action recently.

After listening to their analysis, Aji also felt that it made sense and stopped insisting. He thought about taking them out to eat before going back, but the children also declined.

If they don't go home for a long time, they may be worried about their family members waiting for them.

Aji had no choice but to send them onto the ox cart.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin naturally had no idea what had happened in the village. After another nap, they arrived at the new post station around 3 p.m.

This post station is the last one to Zhaoming. Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin decided to take a good rest in the post station and set off again after lunch.

There are rooms in the inn. Although they are small, they have everything you need.

After asking the waiter to call them at dinner time, the two of them lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Although they had been eating and sleeping in the carriage for the past two days, the bumpy journey was far from being as comfortable as sleeping soundly in bed.

When it was time for dinner, the two were woken up by the waiter knocking on the door.

After they packed up quickly and went downstairs, four coachmen were already waiting for them in the lobby. When they saw them, they greeted them warmly and looked very energetic.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin admired their spirits. They slept all the way, but the drivers were really driving the carriages. Although they could take turns, it was still hard work.

Seeing them coming down, the waiter hurried to ask the kitchen to serve the food.

They were the only ones in the inn at the moment, and the kitchen served the food very quickly.

This was the first time we had a hot meal since yesterday and everyone enjoyed it very much.

After dinner, we have to continue on our journey, otherwise we may not be able to reach Zhaoming before tomorrow.

After bidding farewell to the people at the post station, the group set off towards Zhaoming County under the moonlight.

It was not until the next morning that the group stopped to rest for two hours. While the people relaxed and ate something, the horses also needed to rest for a while.

The food was what Tao'er had prepared for them, and with the help of the four coachmen, it was just enough time for them to digest it all.

After the horses had rested enough, they continued on their journey, this time without stopping for a moment, and went straight to Zhaoming County.

It was just time for lunch when they arrived at Zhaoming County. After thinking for a while, Zheng Yuan asked the driver to take them to Jiang's store.

When we arrived at the store, Manager Fang was taking inventory of the goods with his employees in order to figure out how much stuff was needed this time. They had previously agreed to ship a batch of goods in five days, and it would take two days on the road, so they had to set off this afternoon.

When the few people came in, the butler thought they were guests and shouted habitually without even looking up: "Welcome!"

"Manager Fang, have we become so unfamiliar with each other after just a few days of not seeing each other?" Duan Minmin said with a smile.

Manager Fang then looked up, and when he saw that it was two people, he immediately put down the account books in his hands and came forward.

"Oh, I was thinking about you this morning, but I didn't expect you to be here so soon. Zhaoming is really far away, you must have had a hard time on the way!"

"Shunzi! Go make a pot of tea!"

"Hey, that's not necessary, Shunzi." Zheng Yuan called out to Shunzi who was about to go to the backyard.

"Manager Fang, we won't drink the tea, but we have to eat this meal. We haven't had a good meal along the way, and we finally got to Zhaoming, so we have to have a big meal."

"Yes, yes, yes! Look at my brain. Why am I drinking tea at dinner time?" Manager Fang patted his head.

"Madam, do you want to eat anything?"

"We're not picky, but it's nice to try some of Zhaoming's specialties."

It's not that Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin are being polite. They are not picky eaters. Besides, when they arrive in a new place, they naturally want to try the local specialties.

"Okay, then let's go to the Golden Elephant Restaurant. The Zhaoming dishes there are very good."

"All is up to you."

"Ladies, please come this way." Manager Fang led the way.

"Let's call the guys in the store as well."

Judging from their appearance just now, they probably haven't eaten yet. But since they are going to eat anyway, we might as well call them all together.

"They won't go. Everyone in our store brings their own lunch at noon," Manager Fang replied.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin nodded and didn't say anything more. After all, it was Manager Fang who was in charge of the shop, and they shouldn't interfere too much in how he managed his people.

"Let's go, Brother Yang, Xiao An, follow me, let's go have dinner." Duan Minmin waved to the coachmen who were waiting beside the carriage.

Along the way, the two of them had quite a pleasant chat with several coachmen. They knew everyone's name and where they lived.

"Ma'am, you guys go eat, we won't go."

"Madam, please go ahead. We still have to guard this carriage."

"Why guard the carriage? It's right in front of the store. Manager Fang's shop assistants will come out to see it soon."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen if you stop here."

Knowing Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin's attitudes, Manager Fang also followed suit.

"Ma'am, we're not hungry yet, you guys go first."

Several coachmen still refused to come forward.

In their eyes, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were the ones in charge, and they were already the best of masters by letting them eat together on the road. Now that they had arrived in the county, how could they eat with their masters again?

"It's been so long since morning, how can I not be hungry? Let's catch up."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! We won't leave unless you come. We are starving."

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin just stood there and urged them on, as if they would all starve to death if they didn't keep up.

The drivers looked at each other and followed embarrassedly.

The restaurant that Manager Fang took them to was not very big, but there were quite a few diners inside. The entire hall was already full, so the food must be good.

Fortunately, Manager Fang must be a regular here. As soon as they entered the door, the waiter came to greet them and led them to a private room.

The drivers had never eaten in such a good restaurant before, let alone in a private room. They were all trembling with fear and dared not say a word.

In comparison, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin felt very comfortable. They entered the box, sat down directly and began to look at the decoration of the box.

To be honest, the decoration of this box gives me the feeling of returning to an ancient-style hotel in my hometown, which is quite familiar.

Manager Fang, who already knew that the two were not simple people, did not react much to their calm behavior and sat down as well.
