Chapter 205: From now on, they can stay together in Ningzhou!
Tonight, Luo Ge, who hadn't cooked personally in a long ti, once again showcased her culinary skills.
Everyone ate to their heart's content. Gu Jinchen, Elder Mr. Xu, Luo Ge's father and son, and Wang Big Brother took the opportunity to drink quite a bit.
The little ones played happily, entertaining their younger brothers and sisters.
Watching this scene, Luo Ge and Wang Sister-In-Law sampled so newly made flower tea together.
"I've set up a new workshop in the west of the city. It should be ready to start operating in about half a month. Sister-in-law, would you and the others be willing to co help then?"
As the business grew, having just one workshop was certainly not enough.
By now, Luo Ge had already established two estates in Ningzhou. The chicken and duck farm, which was easier to set up, was already done. The fruit orchards would need more ti.
But now, supplying one workshop was no longer a problem.
Hearing Luo Ge's words, Wang Sister-In-Law was stunned, as if she thought she had misheard.
"Luo Ge, what did you just say?"
Seeing her expression, Luo Ge smiled and couldn't help but playfully pinch Wang Sister-In-Law's dazed cheek.
"I said, I've opened a new workshop in the west of the city, and I'd like to invite you and the others, along with Aunt Zhang, to co help. Accommodation will be provided, and it's not far from the academy."
The plan to open a new workshop had been in the works for a while. Initially, Luo Ge had intended to ask Wang Sister-In-Law and the others to help at the new workshop.
This would also make it convenient to look after the children.
The village could be left in the care of Luo Auntie, Elder Sister Xiu Niang, and Ma Feng Auntie.
But before she could bring it up, Wang Sister-In-Law had declined the offer to send Tie Dan to Ningzhou Academy.
Now that the children had been arranged to co, they shouldn't refuse this proposal, right?
Wang Sister-In-Law, who had just been imrsed in the sadness of impending separation while watching the children, was now almost stunned by this big surprise from Luo Ge.
"But, what about the village?" She was happy, but still hadn't forgotten her promise to Luo Ge.
"We can leave that to Luo Auntie and the others. After all, Sister-in-law, you've already entrusted the village to them while you're here, right? You don't need to worry about the village."
"Comparatively, the new workshop needs your help more."
Wang Sister-In-Law was strongly tempted.
Seeing this, Luo Ge turned to Aunt Zhang nearby: "Auntie, what do you think? Please don't refuse this ti. If you do, I might get hurt."
As she spoke, Luo Ge deliberately put on a pitiful expression, causing Wang Sister-In-Law and Aunt Zhang to burst into laughter.
They looked at Luo Ge with a mix of helplessness and guilt.
"We won't refuse, we won't. We were being too fussy before, always disappointing you."
Wang Sister-In-Law said with a smile, discreetly wiping away tears from the corner of her eye.
They had always felt they owed Luo Ge too much, so they kept refusing, not wanting to burden Luo Ge and her family.
But they never realized that constantly doing so would also make Luo Ge feel bad.
Although Luo Ge's expression just now was playful, it hit them like a bucket of cold water, suddenly awakening them.
Seeing them like this, Luo Ge also smiled.
"It's alright," she said with a smile.
The people around, seeing this scene, also broke into smiles.
The little ones who had been secretly listening nearby jumped up happily.
From now on, they could all stay together in Ningzhou!
... Ti was of the essence. Old Master Wang was still at ho, and they hadn't properly dealt with the land and other matters yet.
They needed to hurry back and handle everything as soon as possible.
After staying in Ningzhou for two days and ensuring that Yun Yan was settled well in the academy, they imdiately rushed back to take care of things.
.......................
anwhile.
The escort agency that Gu Jinchen had been busy setting up for days was finally ready to open.
The location chosen for the agency wasn't on a busy street, but at the end of an alley just one street away from the Ningzhou Governnt Office.
In this line of work, what matters is the custors' trust in the agency. Being brave enough to open so close to the governnt office would slightly increase their credibility.
Gu Jinchen had chosen a large shop. Besides the equipnt for escorting, it also stocked various weapons that civilians could use.
Behind the shop was a large courtyard where the staff lived.
They had also prepared ships at the dock for their escorting business, ready to set out at any ti.
However, they were still in the initial stages, and it was unlikely they would imdiately get large orders requiring the use of ships.
Everything had to be taken slowly, progressing step by step.
Luo Ge accompanied Gu Jinchen to inspect the ships belonging to their family. After looking around, her eyes were full of brightness.
"In the future, it will be more convenient for us to travel and sightsee," she said, her eyes filled with anticipation.
They had long ago made a promise that when everything was stable and the children didn't need constant attention, they would find an opportunity to travel.
"Mm-hmm. When things develop better, I'll acquire a new ship. Then we can find a chance to go on a proper trip."
"Agreed."
And so, an escort agency nad 'Wind and Cloud' quietly took root in Ningzhou.
Like a gentle breeze and fine rain, it gradually spread to every corner of the court.
Its reputation grew bit by bit, until it was known throughout the land.
