Early morning of the next day, Zhao Shuyu was still fast asleep, but Zhao Xingyuan had already returned to his own place, changing his clothes to make himself look presentable and preparing for a 10-day-trip in Xuzhou to discuss some matters.
The matter wasn’t big, but it was extremely important. The time has now come to harvest the salt in the Zhao family’s four salt farms located in Xuzhou, so Zhao Xingyuan needed to make the trip there in person.
Traditionally, salt was distributed by feudal officials, and ordinary merchants couldn’t do business like this.
However, Zhao Xingyuan was already quite skilled at a young age, and by using means through his Gao family relatives in Jinzhou and his contacts in the capital, the Zhao family’s four salt farms have been operating for nearly ten years with no hiccups.
Although for Zhao Xingyuan, this trip wasn’t far, a round trip would take at least a month.
He still hadn’t forgotten his response last night about Zhao Shuyu going out to play. After some consideration, he brought Huo Yikun in and let him accompany Little Yu’er out.
As Zhao Shuyu slept soundly in the warm bed, she woke up at near noon.
Eldest brother had long left the room. Zhao Shuyu stretched her body, bowing her head to look at the thin silk layered on her body.

Huo Yikun could only feel his lower half heat up, but still, his face remained sullen, saying straightforwardly, “The eldest young master instructed me to take the fourth young lady to the horse-riding grounds if it won’t inconvenience the fourth young lady. We could also reschedule on another day.”
Once Zhao Shuyu heard this, her eyes brightened, “It’s convenient, it’s convenient. Brother Huo, wait for me, I’ll be finished right away.”
Saying this, she didn’t even wait for Huo Yikun’s response and turned around, running inside the room creating a ‘da da da’ sound.
‘Brother Huo’ that was said in a sweet voice was still echoing in Huo Yikun’s ears. He closed his eyes and steadied his breath, saying, “Fourth young lady, no need to rush, I’ll be outside waiting.”
Not long after, Zhao Shuyu was dressed well and was finished.
Pushing the door open, sure enough, she saw Butler Huo waiting for her in the small courtyard. She lightly caressed her red cheeks and walked to Huo Yikun’s front, softly saying, “Butler Huo, I’m done preparing.”
Shortly, a carriage came out of the side entrance of the Zhao residence and headed for the outskirts of Jinzhou.
Zhao Shuyu and Huo Yikun sat inside the carriage. Zhao Shuyu excitedly looked out of the moving vehicle, and compared to Huo Yikun, he was much calmer and more collected, his hands holding the account books for him to examine.
The horse trotted all the way, causing Zhao Shuyu to feel rocked while riding the carriage.
Who knows if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that today’s carriage was shakier than usual. Moreover, the carriage felt particularly small, small enough that she and Butler Huo needed to sit with their legs close to each other, sitting upright, so as not to bump with one another.
