Hearing that Ye Ziāan was going to the Capital City early, Ms. Wang felt that her wish of hugging her grandson was farther away.
She regrets it for several days. However, time wonāt slow down no matter how much she regrets, and he still has to leave when itās time.
On the eve of the journey, Yang Chuxia directed others to pack clothes, books, and other things for Ye Ziāan. They packed two big boxes. After that, they also tidied up Mr. Luoās belongings, for he might not return to Yangshu Village since he had been away from his family for so long, it was time to see them.
Finally, there were things to bring to Old Mu. Old Mu had been staying in the Capital City for the past two years. Now that there were no battles, he was quite leisurely. Ye Ziāan going there would also be taken care of by him. As for Baili Yan, Ye Ziāan would have to meet him this time. For Baili Yanās gifts, he might not care for ordinary things since he was a prince, and the things he had were not scarce even if he was in an unfavorable situation.
Moreover, it was said that his life had improved a lot in the past two years. Thus, Yang Chuxia thought of sending some other things, and she would hand them over to Ye Ziāan later.
"Xiuāer, go call Brother Li and his wife Li Wen and Li Wu."
"Yes, madam."
When the people arrived, Yang Chuxia glanced at them and handed a purse to Brother Li first.
"This is for the travel expenses and daily expenses in the Capital City. From Funan to the Capital City is quite a distance. I will have to trouble you all to take good care of the young master and Mr. Luo along the way. The further north you go, the colder it gets. I have put some cotton-padded jackets in the box, but our jackets might not be as warm and snug as those in the north. Sister-in-law Li, please remember to buy some clothes and hand warmers for the young master when you enter the northern territory. As for the bedding, we brought our own, as the ones outside might not be clean, and some people might have used them and had infectious diseases. Itās not safe."
"Madam, I understand," Sister-in-law Li smiled, "Iām familiar with the North, I know what to do."
"Well, as long as you know, I also know that you were originally from the Capital City, so Iām sending you to accompany the young master." Yang Chuxia nodded slightly, "When you get to the Capital City, you can visit old friends, but donāt talk about the young masterās affairs outside, and donāt delay the young masterās matters. Always prioritize the young masterās affairs."
"Ah, Iāll remember."
Yang Chuxia closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "The Capital City is a noble place, and itās said that you can bump into the vegetable-selling old woman of a third-ranked officialās family just around the corner, and itās not an exaggeration. Remember to be alert and prudent when you get to the Capital City. Be patient when you can and donāt cause trouble for the young master."
After that, she gave Li Wen, Li Wu, and Sister-in-law Li three purses with different weights.
"Donāt put all the eggs in one basket; each of you should carry some silver in case of emergencies. If the silver is not enough in the Capital City, let the young master write a letter back to me, and Iāll send more to you. Understand?"
"We got it, madam."
Yang Chuxia gave many instructions and finally waved her hand for them to leave.
After washing up and going upstairs, Yang Chuxia felt a bit empty. She hadnāt felt it while giving instructions just now.
Realizing how much more attached she had become to Brother An, she couldnāt believe she was already missing him before they even parted.
"Is there anything you want to tell me, my wife?" Seeing her listless, Ye Ziāan asked.
