Chapter 728 - 728: Qian Deyi Helps to Send a Messenger
In the past, even when they were poor, they did not dare to mention it. Now that the four brothers and Little Aunt had become rich, they still did not dare to mention it.
“Agent Qian, you actually don’t have to interfere in this matter. Just treat it as us husband and wife thinking too much on a daily basis and having this dream. As for sending a letter to mother, our family can also use Ah Yu’s people to help send it over.” Wang Chuanyuan was genuinely anxious, so he shared this with Agent Qian after seeing him.
Agent Qian waved his hand. “Hey, what are you talking about? It’s just a letter. It’s nothing. Village Lord Yu’s connections are indeed easy to use, but 1 advise you to use it less.”
Madam Zhang was shocked. “What do you mean? Could it be that something happened to Ah Yu in Wanning City? You have to tell us!”
“No, no. Village Lord Yu is a blessed person. Of course not. It’s just that I heard that there’s a limited quota for the use of the courier channels for the nobles of the Imperial Court. Moreover, they’re quite expensive and will be deducted from their salary in the future. Usually, nobles don’t use this method if they’re not in a hurry. Firstly, it’ll be recorded in the book. Secondly, if others discover it, they’ll always use it to send letters to their families. It’s not like Village Lord Yu herself uses them. I’m afraid it’s not good.”
Qian Deyi spoke very sincerely. He had also heard these words from his Big Brother. His Big Brother was from Wanning City and happened to be in contact with the Wang Family there. He had earned a lot of money and specially sent him a letter to ask him to take care of the Wang Family in the future and maintain a good relationship.
When Madam Zhang heard this, she immediately said, “That won’t do. We can’t cause trouble for All Yu.”
He had also summarized the news in Wanning City from his Big Brother’s usual words.
“Let’s put it this way. It’s not wrong for you to use Village Lord Yu’s channels, but in the end, it’ll still cost some money. Who knows how much favor you will owe Village Lord Yu because of that? But it’s different for me. These years, thanks to your help, my family has been better off, and I’ve always wanted to repay some kindness. Besides, delivering a letter is truly a small matter and doesn’t even warrant any major favor. Why not let me handle it? I have a few of my brothers who run relay stations along the way, and they can provide extra protection to ensure the letter doesn’t get lost. I’ll make arrangements with them. Once your elderly lady replies to the letter, they’ll head back. With some effort, you should be able to get the reply within two months.”
Madam Zhang’s expression was bitter. “Two months is too long—”
For some reason, she had been dreaming very frequently these past few days. Most of it was related to Wang Wulang. She could not let go of the worry in her heart.
Actually, she had roughly guessed what the old lady would say, but she still wanted to ask for peace of mind.
“How about this? I’ll get them to send the message with a pigeon. However, you have to prepare a few more copies. Although this method is fast, it’s not as safe as personally sending it over. Not only is it easy to lose it, but it’s also easy to be intercepted. When you write the letter, remember to make it such that the meaning is not obvious to outsiders.” Qian Deyi suggested.
“Then how long will it take for the pigeon to send a message?”
“Including the troubles along the way, ten days is enough for a round trip.”
“Alright, let’s send a messenger pigeon.” Wang Chuanyuan made the final decision.
That day, Madam Zhang went to Yang Family Private School and asked Teacher Yang to help write the letters. She also treated Teacher Yang’s family to a meal. Then, she handed ten identical letters to Qian Sheng.
Qian Deyi went to contact the relay stations..
