After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

Chapter 126 Wu Mansion

Xiang Chunhua wanted to go, but she didn't dare. The capital was too far away. She hadn't even been to the county seat many times. Going to the capital? She was a little worried about getting lost.

Xiang Chunhua didn't dare to go, and Zhang Dahua didn't dare to go either. She went to the county town even less often!

However, Zhang Dahua kind of wanted to go.

She wanted to go out and see the world, but in Beijing, there were not many such opportunities.

And she knew in her heart that she was already sixteen years old and would get married in the next two years.

After she got married, she had even less chance to go out and see the world.

Seeing that Xiang Chunhua hadn't said anything, Zhang Dahua blushed and bravely said, "Auntie, how about I, I go?"

Zhang Hulan looked at Zhang Dahua and asked with a smile, "Do you want to go?"

"Yeah," Zhang Dahua nodded and said "hmm" softly.

Zhang Hulan said, "Then wait until your father comes back, and I'll discuss it with your parents. If they both agree, I'll let you go."

When Zhang Hujun came back, Zhang Hulan called him to go to Li's room.

I teased the little guy first. The family was well-off, and Mrs. Li had eggs and meat every day, and she had enough milk, so she raised the little guy to be plump.

Zhang Hujun asked, "Big sister, what's the matter with you calling me here?"

Zhang Hulan stopped teasing the little guy and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I have something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Hulan said, "The capital needs someone to go over there and teach them how to make braised meat and sausages. The only ones who can do it are my mother, my sister-in-law Chunhua, and Dahua. Dahua wants to go over there, do you agree?"

"Going to the capital? So far? How long will it take?" Li asked worriedly.

"Of course the capital is far away, and it's hard to say how long it will take. The round trip will take more than half a month, and Dahua has to teach the people in the capital before she can come back. But this thing is not difficult, and I can definitely teach it in a few days."

Li's main concern was safety. She was definitely worried about their children traveling so far. Her children had never traveled far before, so what if they got lost?

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I can't let Dahua go alone. I'll ask Uncle Luo and the others to pick one person to accompany Dahua."

"Also, the county magistrate's wife will arrange for someone to take Dahua to the capital, so there shouldn't be any problems with her safety."

"It's actually good to let Dahua go out and gain some experience. It can broaden her horizons."

"It's mainly because I can't leave right now, otherwise I'd like to go to the capital."

Zhang Hujun said, "Big sister, if you think it would be good for Dahua to go, then let her go."

Although Li was hesitant about letting her daughter go, she didn't say anything when Zhang Hujun said so. She also trusted Zhang Hulan, who said that letting her daughter go abroad would broaden her horizons and would definitely be beneficial to her.

After the matter was settled, Zhang Hulan went to find Luo Changqi. After discussion, it was decided that Dong Jianyong would accompany Zhang Dahua to the capital.

In the evening, Zhang Hulan asked Zhang Dahua to pack her luggage and reminded her to bring some better clothes.

Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Although there is an old saying that "don't judge a book by its cover", image is also very important, especially the first impression it gives people.

It's important to make a good impression when you first meet someone.

Besides, Zhang Dahua is a grown-up girl, and Zhang Hulan doesn't want others to look down on her.

Zhang Hulan returned fifty taels of silver to Zhang Dahua and asked her to keep it with her.

"Auntie, I have some silver with me, so I don't need so much."

When had Zhang Dahua ever carried so much silver? She was afraid of losing it.

Zhang Hulan said, "You're on a business trip, how can you spend your own money? All the expenses on the way will be charged to me."

Zhang Hulan stuffed the silver into Zhang Dahua's hand and said, "When you go out, be sure to carry more silver for self-defense. When you arrive in the capital, you might make some friends. If someone gives you something, you must reciprocate.

Of course. If someone looks down on you and thinks you are from the countryside, you don’t have to care and don’t have to say anything to such people. We are from the countryside and there is nothing shameful about it.

If someone gives you a hard time or deliberately targets you after you go there, just come back and we won't do business with you.

Keep your money safe on the road and don't show it off. Although there are still many good people in this world, there are also many bad people. You must be on guard at all times and be wary of others..."

Zhang Hulan taught Zhang Dahua a lot of things, which were all the experiences she had accumulated from traveling around the country.

The next day, Zhang Hulan took Zhang Dahahua and Dong Jianyong to the county town to find Ye Hongyun.

Ye Hongyun arranged for the servants in the mansion and Zhang Dahahua and others to set off for the capital that day.

Zhang Hulan also gave Dong Jianyong ten taels of silver, asking him to take better care of Zhang Dahua on the road.

……

Seven days later, in the capital.

Zhang Dahua looked at the towering city wall with amazement in his eyes.

There was a constant stream of people entering and leaving the city gate, and the city was bustling with traffic. Everyone on the street was well-dressed, very different from the people in their small place.

But Zhang Dahua's clothes are pretty good, and they are all made of good materials.

On the way, people arranged by Ye Hongyun took care of everything, and Zhang Dahua didn't spend a penny.

A servant named Tian Qi said to Zhang Dahua, "Miss Zhang, Madam has given instructions. When we arrive in the capital, I will take you to stay at the mansion first, and then I will inform Young Master Wang."

Zhang Dahua nodded, "Okay, everything is up to you."

Tian Qi led Zhang Dahua and Dong Jianyong to the Wu Mansion in the capital.

The street in front of the Wu residence was very wide and clean, with not a speck of dirt or fallen leaves on the ground.

The two big stone lions in front of the mansion gate are taller than humans, and the vermilion gate is also extremely tall.

Zhang Dahua was deeply shocked. This place was like two completely different worlds from where she had lived before.

Tian Qi went forward and knocked on the side door.

The doorman saw that it was Tian Qi and asked in surprise, "Tian Qi? Why are you back? Is the Madam back?"

Tian Qi said, "Madam hasn't come back yet. She told me to send two guests back. They are also guests of the young master of the Wang family."

The doorman quickly opened the door and asked, "Do you want to inform the old lady?"

"No need. Madam said the two guests won't stay long, so she asked the servants to serve them well and not be rude."

Tian Qi wanted to invite: "Miss Zhang, please follow me."

Zhang Dahua and Dong Jianyong followed him into the Wu Mansion.

Tian Qi explained the situation to the steward of the mansion, who immediately arranged for someone to prepare hot water for a bath and meals for Zhang Dahua.

Dong Jianyong also has it, but he is not on the same level as Zhang Dahua.

In the eyes of the servants in the Wu Mansion, Dong Jianyong was the same as them, a servant.

The steward arranged for the servants to serve Zhang Dahua, and then went to report to the old lady in the mansion.

How could we not inform the old mistress when there are guests coming to the house?

"Madam, Madam asked Tian Qi to send a guest to stay temporarily at the mansion."

Mrs. Cai was surprised for a moment. "Oh? From Changning County? Who is coming?"

The steward replied, "Tian Qi told me that this visitor is the niece of a friend of Madam's. She was invited by the young master of the Wang family. Madam asked her to stay at the mansion for a few days."

Madam Cai nodded and said, "Since it was Miss Hongyun who asked you to live in the mansion, then you should serve her well."

"Yes, old lady!"
