Chapter 145 Fellow disciples
"What are you going to do?"
the man standing at the gatehouse asked them.
"I want your escort company to deliver some goods. I want to find the second leader Song now. There is a letter from his old friend."
"Then you wait here for a while. I'll go call the Second Master Song."
The young man led them to the guest room next door.
Jiang Ci: "I didn't expect you to be so easy to talk to."
Lin Jingsheng found it funny, "What does Ah Ci think?"
Jiang Ci didn't want to say out loud the ridiculous things in his mind.
"Whatever it is, it is just like this!"
Lin Jingsheng did not expose Jiang Ci either.
They waited here for about half a quarter of an hour before the second leader Song finally arrived.
He looks like a man in his thirties with an elegant temperament.
This was very different from what either of them had imagined about this man.
They both felt that Song Erdang was also an apprentice of the master and was working in the escort agency.
He was not like the sturdy and strong men they saw when they entered the door, nor was he so elegant and scholarly.
"Sorry to have kept you two waiting for so long."
As he spoke, he filled their empty cups with tea.
Lin Jingsheng directly took out the letter paper in his arms and said, "This is the letter my master asked me to bring to you."
The envelope had Xiao Mingyi's name on it, and it was addressed to Song Xunyang.
Song Xunyang was very surprised to see the envelope and took it happily.
"I didn't expect you to be Master Xiao's apprentice. I haven't heard Master Xiao mention it either. But we are brothers with the same name. My name is Song Xunyang."
"I am Lin Jingsheng, my husband Jiang Ci. My master accepted me as his apprentice when he went to live in Linjia Village, so Brother Song has never heard of me."
"No wonder."
"We are here this time because we want your escort company to help me transport some things to the capital."
"Our escort agency has an excellent reputation. You can be assured of leaving your belongings to us."
"All the toothbrushes and soaps in this town are made by our family. This time, we want your escort agency to transport them to the capital."
“You guys made the toothbrush soap!”
It can be seen that Song Xunyang was very surprised.
"Then tell me in detail how much stuff you want to transport to the capital? And to which part of the capital?"
The young man who stood next to him every day took out paper and pen from somewhere in the room and quickly placed them in front of Song Xunyang.
"For now, take 5 toothbrushes and 5 bars of soap. Use your escort agency's horse carriage to load the goods at Linjia Village in the east in five days and deliver them to Sifangyuan on Changqing Street in the capital."
"Okay, no rush."
"If you don't rush, it will normally take six days to get to the capital, and no later than eight days."
When Jiang Ci heard the time, he thought it was so fast. Lin Jingsheng had told him that it would take seven or eight days to reach the capital, but they only needed six days to carry so many things. It seemed that they would not be as leisurely as them if they traveled every day.
"Then we will go to load the goods early in the morning five days later. You should prepare in advance."
After finishing the matter with the escort agency, I went to the soap stall and saw that there was still a small half left.
"Mom and Dad, let's go home today. There aren't many people on the street. We can sell all of these by coming back tomorrow morning."
"Let's go then."
They packed up their stall together, loaded everything onto the donkey cart and went home.
Lin Shan asked about their visit to the escort agency, "How is it going? Have you discussed the escort agency matter?"
"It's settled. My master brought a letter to their second in command. He's very easy to talk to. Come back in five days to get the toothbrushes and soap."
Ye Wan was also relieved, "That's fine."
A few days passed in a flash, the sun set, and the sky was filled with red clouds, interweaving together to form a magnificent picture.
At the entrance of the soap factory, Jiang Ci directed people to move baskets of toothbrushes and baskets of soap out of the house.
When I looked up and saw such a beautiful view to the west, the smile on my face became even more obvious.
Put ten baskets together, and then put another ten baskets a little distance apart in the middle. This will make it easier for them to count today and also when they come to load tomorrow.
"Just put ten baskets together like this, and then put two more piles together."
Jiang Ci walked over to Ye Wan who was packing soap.
"How's this outfit going?"
"This is the only flavor left to complete the package."
There were several baskets of soap nearby, and the soap in each basket was a different color.
If you remove the first layer and look at the layers below, you will find that the patterns on each layer of soap are different.
"Brother Ci, the soap is ready here, come over and order some more."
"Okay, here we come."
There was such a big scene at the gate that some free people in the village went over to watch the fun.
They stood about ten feet away from where the soap was placed, in groups of three or four, or squatting together, chatting.
The work here was done, the people who were working dispersed, and the people who were watching and chatting over there also dispersed.
Yuan Qi came over from behind, leading two half-grown dogs.
"Boss, Da Huang and Er Huang are brought over."
The two half-grown guard dogs named Da Huang and Er Huang didn't bark when they saw Jiang Ci, but they didn't act too enthusiastic either. They just sat obediently beside Yuan Qi.
After all, it wasn't Jiang Ci who fed them.
"One is tied to the tree on the west side, and the other is tied to the tree on the south side. The two sides are quite far from the night watch room. Don't let anything happen to these things when the night watchman is not paying attention."
"Okay, it's Cousin Zhong's turn to keep watch tonight. He usually never slacks off on night watch, and there are so many things outside, so he definitely won't be lazy. But with these two vigilant little guys, it'll be an extra layer of protection."
After Yuan Qi tied Erhuang over there, he touched its head again.
Yang Zhong's two dogs are very well-trained.
During the day, they are not tied up and are let loose, as if they know that they are responsible for guarding the soap factory.
After feeding them, they make a round of the soap every day.
Sometimes we would sleep and play in a corner of the soap factory, or go to the village or the mountains to play.
However, they will definitely show up on time in the evening, and when the time comes to put them on a chain, they will behave themselves and not run or hide.
When the night watchmen were checking around the soap factory at night, they could see that the two dogs' eyes were shining after hearing the noise and they did not slack off to sleep.
Yuan Qi went to tie up the other dog. "Da Huang and Er Huang are very smart. They are the smartest dogs I have ever seen."
“It’s clever indeed.”
Lin Jingsheng was cooking in the kitchen, and Jiang Ci returned to the house and lit the candles.
He took out a piece of white paper in the upper left corner, added a little water to the inkstone, picked up the ink stick and ground the ink. At the same time, he was thinking about what he was going to write and how to make it more elegant.
When Jiang Ci finally picked up the pen, he gave up the idea of writing in a more elegant style. He could write a few sentences in an elegant style.
But he had a lot to write, and it would be too troublesome to write like that, so he decided to use plain language, since he had never been to school anyway.
