Divorced woman with child travels through time

Chapter 356 Jiangyue Tower

"It's actually very simple! Just aim at that red dot and shoot!" Xiao Hao rolled up his sleeves and casually shot an arrow, easily and accurately hitting the bullseye.

"So easy?" Ouyang Jin was almost incredulous. He imitated Ouyang Jin's posture, then shakily fired a shot, and then... "Clang!" The jar next to the flower bed on the ground shattered.

"Not bad, you managed to hit the target despite your aimless pointing." Chen Xuanyu laughed.

"Hehe~" Ouyang Jin was a little embarrassed.

"Your hand is too low!" Xiao Hao stepped forward and nudged his arm. "At least it should be parallel to the target. Come on, try again!"

Ouyang Jin raised his hand and focused his energy. With a "whoosh," the small crossbow struck the target. Although it was a little short of the bullseye, it was still acceptable.

"Wow, Brother Ouyang is amazing! He got it on the second try! No wonder he's so smart." Chen Xuanyu's big eyes sparkled as he showered him with compliments.

"Hmm, your aim is pretty good," Xiao Hao rarely praised.

With a flushed face, Ouyang Jin practiced for half an hour under the praise of the children, never imagining that he wouldn't be able to lift his arm the next day. But that's another story.

The banquet was a great success, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely. Chen Wenfang bid farewell to the Ouyang residence and returned to the post station with a small box in his arms.

With the Jiang family's wealth, there were definitely silver notes inside the carriage; that was a given. However, Chen Wenfang didn't quite understand why, since they used to give prescriptions in exchange for silver, a contract was required this time. So she asked Wang Erniu, "Why did you agree to me signing this?"

“Because this is what we deserve, and it’s what we desperately need right now,” Wang Erniu said, putting his arm around her waist.

"My transfer here this time is not only what Ouyang wanted, but also for a group of people. Last time I told you that I used that token to exchange for your safe master. He hopes that I can achieve something to help him. Of course, there may be other people as well. I'm not sure. But no matter who they are or what their purpose is, I don't care. This is the path I wanted to take, so I came here."

Chen Wenfang understood and intertwined her fingers with his.

"The Jiang family is willing to offer this profit because the situation is tense right now. Someone in higher-ups wants to protect the Jiang family because, compared to others, the Jiang family is relatively honest. This is evident at least in Quanzhou, where people live relatively easily. The higher-ups are very satisfied with this. And I am the one chosen by the higher-ups to protect the Jiang family."

Wang Erniu smiled and said, "So you should accept this money. It's not just for your prescription, but also for my hard work."

Chen Wenfang leaned forward and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thank you for your hard work, honey. Does that mean we're in the same boat with Ouyang now?"

“We’ve been in this together for a long time, and you’re only just realizing it? The Jiang family’s main businesses are wine, tea, and porcelain, and you’ve helped them with both. You’re actually their benefactor.” Wang Erniu smiled and tapped her nose.

His wife sometimes seemed very clever, but at other times she was quite muddle-headed; he didn't know how to describe her.

"Okay, then I'll accept it with a clear conscience!" Chen Wenfang happily got off the car, carrying the heavy little box.

As soon as she got back to her room, she couldn't wait to open the suitcase.

"My God!" Chen Wenfang was having some difficulty breathing. With a wad of silver notes, her heart pounded with excitement and her hands trembled. "One, two, three..." After finally counting them, there were a full twenty notes, each worth five thousand taels, totaling one hundred thousand taels of silver notes. There were also gold leaves in the chest next to it, which were used to weigh it down. The Jiang family was far too generous!

"Does their family give money so casually?" Chen Wenfang couldn't help but raise a profound question.

Wang Erniu looked at her cute appearance with amusement, "You'll get used to it. You'll probably have to spend all this money in a while, and then you'll feel bad about it."

Chen Wenfang glared at him and said, "Hmph, I'm not a miser. I know how to spend money wisely."

"Yes, yes, my wife is the most virtuous. Go to sleep early..." Wang Erniu pulled her towards the bed. He rarely had any private space, and he wanted to seize the opportunity to be affectionate...

Chen Wenfang had a headache; her back was going to ache again tomorrow. What to do when her husband is too strong? (Waiting online.)

Chen Wenfang slept until noon, then got up, rubbing her aching back. Wang Erniu was nowhere to be seen; they were only staying in Quanzhou for a few days and had many things to take care of.

Just as Chen Wenfang finished washing and dressing, Aunt Hu knocked on the door; someone from the Jiang family had arrived.

"Coming right away!" Chen Wenfang grabbed a snack to tide her over, considering the money. With the children being cared for by Chu Yi, there was no need to worry.

Outside the inn came a clever-looking young girl dressed in blue, with a small mole on the corner of her mouth, somewhat resembling the celebrity Li Qian. There was also a very gentle and handsome young man, who was the one Jiang Mingxin had brought with her yesterday. She remembered that his name was Jiang He. Even a servant can act like a master, and Jiang He's temperament was remarkably similar to Jiang Mingxin's.

But why did he specifically send a little maid over? Could it be that he thinks he should bring a maid to maintain appearances? Well, given her current status, it seems she should have a maid.

"Hello! I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Chen Wenfang greeted them awkwardly.

"You're too kind, madam," the little maid said with a smile. "My name is Caiyun, and I was sent by the young master to serve you."

"Oh, okay." Chen Wenfang didn't think too much about it.

"My lady is so beautiful. If there's nothing else, let's set off. Young master must have been waiting for a long time." Caiyun was very lively, and her words were full of tone, giving her a youthful feel.

"Okay!" Chen Wenfang was also happy to hear that.

Jianghe brought a carriage and took them all the way to Jiangyuelou, the largest restaurant in Quanzhou.

The name Jiangyue Tower immediately suggests it belongs to the Jiang family. The building soars into the clouds, its vermilion pillars standing majestically, and colorful lanterns and signs swaying in the wind. Below, guests throng shoulder to shoulder, some dressed in fine clothes and adorned with jewels, others arriving on magnificent horses. Inside, the sounds of traditional music fill the air, singers and dancers move with graceful movements, and a dazzling array of delicacies is on display.

In the two small teahouses diagonally opposite Jiang Minglou, Zhao Yang and his two companions were staring at the five burly assassins at the table in front of them. Although they were dressed in black, it was clearly not made of ordinary material. They were the same group that had stopped Chen Wenfang and his group last time. Moreover, they were generous with their money, ordering all kinds of seafood, such as prawns, silverfish, oysters, and even sea cucumbers.

Ah Xing's eyes widened in disbelief. How come other assassins are so rich?

"Brother, I want to try those too!" Ah Xing tugged at Zhao Yang's sleeve.

Zhao Yang silently opened his pocket, shook it, and said, "Listen to this, there's not much left!"

"Sigh!" Ah Xing was feeling depressed as he ate his steamed bun. When would this end? He missed Chen Ji's beef jerky and that jar of pig's head meat.
