Chapter 367: 367 does not require an escort Chapter 367: 367 does not require an escort Ye Jiu returned to her room, picked up her writing brush, and dipped it in ink to write several chapters, only to tear them all up and begin again.
Although she had learned many characters under Ye Changsheng’s tutelage, her calligraphy was extraordinarily poor; the characters she wrote were a black, illegible ss, barely worth looking at. So, it was better not to embarrass herself by showing them to anyone.
In the end, she abandoned the attempt to write with a brush and took out a pencil from the Dinsional Space, sharpened it well with a pencil sharpener, and then began writing carefully.
Once she had finished writing, Ye Jiu looked at her work and was extrely pleased. She then folded an envelope, inserted the letter, and sealed it closed.
Indeed, building a good relationship with Luo Ranran had been the right choice. Looking at these items, whether it be the various educational tools or the quality of the paper, none could have been made in the ancient ti.
However, Luo Ranran was thoughtful enough to know that she was living in ancient tis, so all the paper she provided was white paper like A4 and rice paper. What’s more, these were cheap, while the ancient paper, despite its poor quality, was extrely expensive. The modern items were both useful and affordable!
Thinking of this, Ye Jiu couldn’t help but consider the educational matters of the elder nephews at ho.
The second branch of the family planned to send their youngest son Wenxuan to school, but Wenyu had lost the advantage of being younger, and she didn’t know if her second brother and sister-in-law would make plans for him.
As for the eldest branch, the eldest sister-in-law was always astute and considerate. There was no need for others to worry about her affairs.
Her thoughts sank into the Plane Space, and she selected several fine writing brushes and so paper and ink from the materials Luo Ranran had sent. Then, she chose several exquisite items as gifts for her family. Ye Jiu wrapped everything up in a parcel, placed the sealed letter inside, and her preparations were complete.
The gifts were not valuable, just small tokens of her affection. The preparation of writing materials was also a reminder to her family that, now that they were not short of money, they should pay more attention to the children’s education.
After everything was ready, Ye Jiu handed the parcel to Ye Wenzheng, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after Ye Wenzheng had returned, the head of the escort, Lu, quickly followed.
Upon entering, Lu’s tone was urgent, “Young Master, have we done sothing wrong that…”
Lu knew he had made a great mistake regarding the matter with Dongzi, but Ye Jiu and Ye Wenzheng hadn’t ntioned it these past days, so he only felt a bit guilty, lacking any deep feeling about it.
Now that Ye Wenzheng suddenly said they no longer needed their escort services, Lu couldn’t help but recall Dongzi’s issue.
The winter solstice incident had long passed, and Ye Jiu knew deep down that she hadn’t blad Lu at the ti out of necessity, and to bla him now would only show her in a poor light, unforgiving and ungrateful, so she had no intention of bringing it up again.
In response to Lu, she spoke with a smile, “Lu, I think you’re overthinking it. We are grateful for your escort services, which ensured our safe journey here. It’s just that now we have the good fortune to travel with the War King, and thus we no longer require an escort for the upcoming journey; I hope you will understand.”
“Is that really all?” Lu hesitated.
“Of course,” Ye Jiu spoke again, “Although we no longer need your escort, Wenzheng and I riding on a single horse is sufficient. So, we would still trouble you, Lu, to bring back the remaining three horses for us. And the belongings we’re sending ho, we must also trouble you and your brothers with that. As for the extra carriage, you may dispose of it as you see fit.”
