Chapter 471 Sending a Message to Grandfather
The family got together and her mother wanted her to stay for two more nights. She thought it would be fine to go back, so she stayed.
However, the couple still went to sleep in the space at night.
"Isn't Zhaojia Village far from Lijia Village?"
Su Wanwan thought of Liu Chunmei's missing man. The village head led the clansmen to look for him, but it has been two days. I wonder if they have found him.
Shen Yuan was also thinking about this at this time.
"It's not far. The two villages belong to the same town. They are both in the Daxin Mountains, at the intersection of Xinping County, Tongxu County, and Fengning County."
Su Wanwan frowned.
"Is there any secret hidden in the Daxin Mountains? Why did so many people disappear years ago? I heard there are many ferocious beasts there?"
Shen Yuan held his wife in his arms.
"There are many ferocious beasts, but people are not fools. There must be something fishy about this matter. Feng Gang and his team are still investigating. The main reason is that this mountain range is too large and there are many places that no one has set foot in. I'm afraid it will be difficult to investigate."
After hearing this, Su Wanwan felt relieved.
Although this matter seems to have nothing to do with them, after all, Sister Ye’s people are also missing. It would be good if Shen Yuan’s forces could help.
"Then let's go back to the village tomorrow to see if the head of the village has returned?"
Shen Yuan nodded:
"Wife, don't worry about this matter. It's just that my mother-in-law and uncle want you to go back to Beijing. Do you want to go back?"
Shen Yuan was more worried about this.
Su Wanwan also thought about this issue seriously.
"My uncle has already come here, and we have all met each other. I don't think there is any rush to recognize our ancestors. After all, many of the Ye family's graves are still in the northwest and have not been moved here. I want to wait until the Ye family moves the graves before going back."
However, Su Wanwan thought about it and asked Shen Yuan:
"What about you? Do you want to go back to Beijing? If you do, we can take this opportunity to go back."
Shen Yuan suddenly hugged her tightly.
"I really want to see my grandfather, but he won't let me go back. I was very anxious when I heard he was sick a few years ago, but I endured it. Now I've heard from the capital that His Majesty has sent many imperial doctors to visit, and my grandfather's condition has stabilized."
Shen Yuan still felt heavy in his heart when he said these words.
The Huo family is now headed by the eldest uncle, and the people around his grandfather cannot be trusted. He cannot even send a letter over.
"Does Grandfather know you're still alive?"
Su Wanwan couldn't help but feel sorry for him. It was such a painful experience that family members couldn't see each other.
"I don't know. I received a letter from my grandfather before the war. He also knew that the war was extremely dangerous. In the letter, he told me not to return to Beijing after the war, regardless of success or failure."
"In fact, if I hadn't been shot by an arrow, I would have pretended to have died on the battlefield. So, my grandfather probably doesn't know whether I really died or faked my death, but he would definitely have hope."
When Su Wanwan heard this, she put her head on his chest and reached out to hold his hand:
"My second brother and my eldest uncle will be returning to Beijing in two days. Perhaps I can ask my second brother to help pass a message to my grandfather. At least, let him know that you are still alive and even married. If he is happy, he may get better and better."
Shen Yuan's eyes turned slightly red, he actually had the same idea.
But how can he spread the message without exposing his identity?
"My uncle may have some suspicions about me. My second brother is not someone who can know my identity. It would be best if he did it without anyone knowing."
Shen Yuan expressed his concerns.
"My second brother and my eldest uncle will not be in the capital for the New Year. After they return to the capital, they will definitely go to the Huo Mansion to pay their respects. This is the opportunity."
"Shen Yuan, do you have any special movements or symbols that only grandfather knows and no one else knows?"
Su Wanwan originally wanted to write a letter directly, saying that she admired Mr. Huo and wrote a letter to express her admiration.
After thinking about it, I realized that it’s not safe either.
My second brother and uncle are definitely not easy to fool.
"That's true. When I was a child, my grandfather made an agreement with me about a pattern, saying that if I got lost, I could leave that mark behind."
Shen Yuan seemed to have figured out what his wife was going to do.
Su Wanwan chuckled:
"We will go back to the village tomorrow. Second brother and eldest uncle will return to Beijing in two days. We should prepare more gifts for them to return to Beijing. It would be best if they can give them gifts when they return to Beijing."
Shen Yuan hugged his wife tightly again:
"Wife, I really want to take you back to Beijing to meet your grandfather. He will definitely be very happy to see you."
Su Wanwan also responded:
"There's always a chance."
The couple made some plans and decided to go back to Daliushu Village the next day.
My second brother and uncle also wanted to visit the village, so in the end, a whole group of people followed them.
Shen Yuan took them to visit the workshop, while Su Wanwan prepared the return gift at home.
The nobles in the capital naturally have everything they need. Nowadays, the best gifts are the corn and sweet potato products that are all the rage in the summer, as well as the bean curd sheets from the workshops.
Although these foods may not be worthy of being served in a formal occasion, they are well-known all over the world and do not look shabby when displayed outside.
The symbol Shen Yuan mentioned was not complicated. It was just a symbol similar to the letter W.
There was no pinyin in this era, let alone foreign languages, so this symbol was indeed very special.
She first prepared some gifts for her uncle's family, which were nothing more than cornmeal, sweet potato vermicelli, and sweet potato starch.
Direct and rough packaging, using sacks.
Next she will prepare some gift boxes.
The gift box has this symbol engraved on it.
Nowadays, many craftsmen will engrave symbols on their finished products, so it is not out of place for her to put such a symbol on the packaging box.
This symbol was confirmed again and again with Shen Yuan. No one else knew it except his grandfather.
If these gift boxes were sent to other palaces, no one would be confused when seeing this symbol. Only my grandfather would be suspicious when seeing it.
And based on what she had learned about her second brother and uncle in the past two days, they would definitely not hide their identities, and might even brag to their colleagues that they had found their niece.
She would also say that her niece is Su Wanwan, the peasant woman who discovered sweet potatoes and corn and invented farm tools.
With Grandfather Huo's intelligence, it was not difficult for him to guess that her husband was Huo Yuan.
In this way, grandfather knew that Huo Yuan was still alive and had married, so he could rest assured.
It has to be said that Su Wanwan and Shen Yuan really understand Ye Mufei and Ye Xingfeng thoroughly.
The father and son really thought so in their hearts. Now they wish the whole world knew that Su Wanwan was a girl from their Ye family.
This face is so proud, so proud!
As for the food that was sent out, I was very proud to say that it was prepared by my niece.
After a whole day of preparation, there was a lot of stuff. When Shen Yuan took them around and came back, they saw all these things.
"Little sister, you gave too much."
The corners of Ye Xingfeng's mouth twitched. "Little sister, do you know how precious these things are now? They can't be bought on the market."
