Chapter 822: Chapter 822 Zhao Xi Opposes

Shu Yu decided, next time she sees her master, she will sincerely thank her.

During the conversation, the carriage also arrived at the Lu family’s doorstep.

Shu Yu originally wanted to invite Wang Changdong in to sit for a while, but he declined, since he was certain that he would soon be transferred to the county town, he needed to start preparing in advance.

Especially since, from what Shu Yu indicated, the county magistrate might consult his opinion, asking him to recommend a suitable steward for the manor.

Wang Changdong suddenly felt that he was very busy, and so he would not intrude upon their joyous family reunion; he had to return to the manor to work. Even if he was to leave, he had to do well until the very last moment.

After Wang Changdong left, Shu Yu moved the boxes from the mule carriage.

As soon as the boxes were opened, the dazzling gold inside almost blinded people.

Members of the Lu family rushed over together and were breathless at the sight of a whole row of gold ingots.

“This is the first time I’ve ever seen so much gold.”

Before, let alone two hundred taels of gold, they hadn’t even seen two hundred taels of money.

In less than a year since Shu Yu returned, they had indeed broadened their horizons.

“Is this the Imperial Decree?” Lu Erbai hardly dared to touch the yellow silk cloth, merely swallowing nervously.

Shu Yu unfolded the Imperial Decree for the family to see. Although not everyone could recognize the words, it looked very impressive at first glance.

The old lady asked her to put away the Imperial Decree, “After we return to Jiangyuan County, we must establish a separate room to enshrine this Imperial Decree. In the future, this will become our Life-saving Talisman. If anyone dares to trouble us, we can reveal the Imperial Decree, and it will scare them to death.”

The old lady’s words made everyone laugh. Shu Yu shook her head; there was no need for a separate room dedicated to enshrining it.

However, once they returned to Jiangyuan County, they would have a large tri-courtyard house. By that time, there would be many rooms, and it would be possible to set aside one to serve as a treasure storage.

In the days to come, the Lu family’s life would only get better and better. These gold and silver jewelry, or other valuables, should all be stored in the treasure room.

After everyone had a look at the rewards in the box, they quickly packed and locked them up.

Then they began to bustle around busily; only after Zhao Xi brought the two children home, did they noisily sit down to eat and discuss their return journey.

Lu Erbai suggested hiring an escort agency for the trip back to provide safe escort along the way.

They had several escorts accompanying them when they had first arrived, as back then they had never traveled far and were not familiar with the southwest.

Now, although they had experience, Shu Yu’s identity had changed, and there were so many valuables on the road.

Although it’s unlikely that many would dare to covet the Emperor’s gifts, no one can guarantee that there wouldn’t be desperate bandits with nothing to lose who might truly take a risk.

It just so happened that they were familiar with Huifeng Escort Agency, and could get a discount.

However, mentioning Huifeng Escort Agency reminded Zhao Xi of the Young Head Escort Luo Qing, who still hadn’t given up.

What if he insisted on providing an escort? With Daya about to return to her hometown soon, this would be his last and only chance, one he definitely wouldn’t give up.

It was too bothersome, Zhao Xi firmly disagreed.

Therefore, he was the first to raise an objection, “I don’t think we need the escorts from the escort agency. Although we know Huifeng Escort Agency, the journey is still so long, how much cheaper can it get? Uncle Lu, you don’t earn money easily, so let’s just leave the safety issue on the road to, to Yun. He has people on his side, it won’t be a problem.”
