Chapter 309
309, Sister Zhixin (3 more
There was indeed a feeling of having a close sister.
Xie Rong pursed his lips slightly, nodded gently, and sipped the soup in small mouthfuls.
Xie Zhinuan let out a gentle breath.
Almost twenty years old and yet still like a child, his rims turned red when he spoke of sadness, and he cried when he felt like it, it seems his family must have really doted on him.
After lunch, Aunt Chen paid the bill, and only then did the group leave the tea house.
The old grandma watched the departing carriage, feeling a sense of familiarity and surprise.
That kind of carriage material, plus the pair of horses, and the engraved patterns on the carriage, were not something ordinary folks could afford; and the girl who held the child, dressed in brocade, with no ornaments in her hair save for a pair of earrings, whose family did she belong to?
However, in the Dazhou Kingdom, there were too many families with power and influence. The old lady didn’t dwell on it much; she was headed to the capital this time to see her niece’s daughter who had been found. The child had been very endearing in her youth, most resembling her late mother; when she was lost, the old lady grieved for a long time, and now that she had been found, she, as an aunt, couldn’t wait for the young girl to visit her and decided to personally make the trip to the capital city.
“Old grandma, it is said that Prince Han is in Fengping County. Shall we visit him?”
After some thought, the old lady shook her head and said, “No need, we are merely women of the inner court and should not disturb His Highness. We’ll stay at the posthouse for one night and depart early tomorrow!”
“Yes!”
The old grandma had her reasons for not visiting Prince Han.
Her son was once awarded the title of Marquis, but due to an offense against royal taboos, he was demoted to Earl and exiled from the capital. Now his status wasn’t as it once was, so it was better not to trouble Prince Han.
By the time they arrived at the small town, it was already evening; the braised meat shop was still open, Xiaoyuan was cleaning, and Dong Sheng brought over water to wipe the door.
Upon seeing Xie Zhinuan, both were overjoyed.

“Boss!”“Master!”
Xie Zhinuan smiled, holding Xie Yi as she approached, “You two are getting married tomorrow, why are you still here at the shop?”
“The wedding arrangements are all taken care of by my parents. Tomorrow, Dong Sheng and I just have to perform the wedding ceremony. The business is so good; we can’t neglect it!” Xiaoyuan said as she welcomed Xie Zhinuan into the back courtyard.
“The main house has always been kept for Master. Will you stay here tonight, or will you go to Xiaohe Village?”
Xie Zhinuan looked around; they had quite a few people with them.
It was rather crowded here, and besides, she needed to go to Xiaohe Village to check on how much Jiji Grass had been collected and to pick up grandma Chen along the way, then have one last look at the first home she had in another world.
“Is that so…” Xiaoyuan sounded a bit disappointed.
Xie Zhinuan patted her shoulder, “Don’t worry, the braised meat shop doesn’t need to open tomorrow!”
“Ah, that’s not good, we earn a lot in one day!” Xiaoyuan immediately objected, “I’ll have my sister and brother-in-law come over tomorrow, even the pork has been ordered!”
Xie Zhinuan laughed out loud, “Having ordered the pork doesn’t matter, tomorrow is your big wedding, just add an extra meat dish!”
“…”
Xiaoyuan’s eyes widened.
All that silver, how could it just be used to add a dish.
“You only get married once, you must dress up beautifully. From now on, go home and rest well. Get up early tomorrow, dress beautifully and happily marry Dong Sheng!” Xie Zhinuan said with a light chuckle.
She straightened Xiaoyuan’s clothes a bit, “Good girl, listen to me this time, tidy up and head home!”
“…”
Xiaoyuan nodded lightly.
Xie Zhinuan looked around; everything was clean and well-organized.
