After waiting for a long time, the alley was still not cleared.
The coachman got off the carriage and went inside to check, quickly returning: "Madam, there are people moving houses inside. There are quite a few carriages in there, and it’s uncertain when they’ll finish moving."
Yang Ruxin handed over a piece of broken silver: "Let’s get off here."
"Madam, that’s too much." Seeing the piece of broken silver, the coachman quickly waved his hand, "From the wharf to here, at most only worth a coin of silver." This piece was at least half an ounce.
"You explained so much to us." Yang Ruxin smiled, "You deserve to be compensated for handling it."
"Thank you, madam." The coachman accepted the silver, helped put down the footrest, and gently helped Yang Ruxin get off the carriage, then assisted Lun Dou and Huang Dou one by one to get off.
Yang Ruxin did not immediately walk inside; instead, she looked at the coachman: "We will stay in Quanzhou City for a few days. If you’re willing, I’ll hire your carriage starting tomorrow, for three days at first. Are you willing?"
"Madam favors a small person like me, I’m certainly willing." The coachman hurriedly nodded.
Yang Ruxin nodded, handing over five ounces of silver: "However, I might not go out at a specific time, so you need to come and wait in the morning. If I go out, I’ll take your carriage; if I don’t, you just wait. Is that okay?"
"No problem." The coachman swiftly accepted the silver, thinking that earning five ounces of silver a month would need gratitude to heaven and Xie Tai. Now, it’s just three days, let alone waiting in the morning, even waiting in the evening would be fine. Once madam goes inside, he’ll quickly return to tidy up the carriage and wash the horses, otherwise, pulling such a beautiful madam and young ladies around might be disparaging.
Only then did Yang Ruxin guide her two daughters inside.
"Mother, aren’t you afraid he’ll take the silver and not show up?" Lun Dou asked Yang Ruxin teasingly.
"Only five ounces of silver." Yang Ruxin laughed, "If he really doesn’t show up, he should be the one to be afraid. What if he gets caught and ends up breaking a leg?"
"True, it’s not worth it." Lun Dou nodded.
Huang Dou turned back for a glance and found that the coachman had not left, but was looking at them, prompting a smile: "Mother, he hasn’t left."
"No worries, we’ve now paid the fare, ending the agreement between us. Tomorrow’s appointment hasn’t begun yet, so now we have no relation with him. Whatever he wants to do is his own freedom."
The two nodded in understanding.
Although Santong Lanes is called a lane, it is actually quite big, with a grand archway leading inside like a small square. There are four households in total within, all considered big families in Quanzhou City.
The Du Family is the second house on the right.
Blocking the alley entrance was the first household, with seven or eight carriages parked at the entrance, all loaded with goods, and a lot of furniture that had already been unloaded and placed at the door. Some servants were gradually carrying them inside.
"Sorry for the inconvenience, madam." A man resembling a butler ran over to apologize to Yang Ruxin, "Our master just moved in, causing trouble for everyone."
Yang Ruxin shook her head smilingly: "It’s okay." Then she proceeded directly ahead without giving it another thought.
The butler-like man narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Yang Ruxin’s back, then turned around and went into the house.
Yang Ruxin led her daughters to the entrance of the Du Family. The Du Family’s large door was open at the time, guarded by a gatekeeper. Seeing someone stop at the steps, someone quickly ran out: "Madam, do you have any business?"
