Ji Bo hurried back to report to the young couple after gathering information.
It was then that Cheng Hao and Su Miaomiao learned about the situation on the other side.
Xiao Wuzi, passing by, remarked, "They're much worse off than us, looking quite dishevelled! Those young masters have to obey their mothers and are being driven around in circles. It looked chaotic over there earlier too!"
Having overheard a few sentences and seen the masters alight from their carriages, the boy had paid extra attention and unexpectedly noticed some peculiarities.
Xiao Liuzi nodded and added in a low voice, "I don't think those young mistresses are easy to get along with either. Several of them are arguing over something!"
The two boys felt a sense of relief, unable to bear the clamour from the other side, contrasting it with their own harmonious environment where no one quarrelled.
Su Miaomiao, with a look of a cat eavesdropping on gossip, listened intently, occasionally glancing at the other convoy to observe the situation.
Xiao Wuzi and Xiao Liuzi became increasingly animated as they spoke.
Cheng Hao playfully chided the two boys, "I see you two are quite the gossips."
Xiao Wuzi and Xiao Liuzi immediately laughed it off, "But you told us to pay more attention to what's happening around us?" and "It's because you and the young mistress are so good-tempered that we dare to chat with the masters, isn't it?"
Su Miaomiao even commented with a smile that their tongues were becoming more agile.
Cheng Hao could only shake his head and smile.
Ji Bo also chuckled, "These two lads really are something. Especially after doing business last time, their quick wit is unmatched by many of the young men in our convoy. Alright, you two should go now."
The elder, fearing that Xiao Wuzi and Xiao Liuzi might overstep, urged them away.
Although their masters were kind.
They couldn't always be so engrossed in gossip, their minds solely focused on the other convoy.
What about the security of their own convoy?
Xiao Wuzi and Xiao Liuzi quickly cupped their hands in farewell and retreated, stating they would go help with the patrols.
Ji Bo urged them to go.
He then turned to the young couple with concern, "Can the young master and young mistress bear this weather? Shall this old servant find you a fan to cool you down?"
He said this as he prepared to fetch one.
He simply couldn't sit still.
Cheng Hao and Su Miaomiao quickly stopped him, saying it was unnecessary, as fanning wouldn't help in this weather.
"Everyone is the same, there's no breeze at all in this weather, fanning will only make it stuffy and tiring. You should rest, we can manage."
"Exactly, it's so hot, you must be uncomfortable too. Get some rest."
Cheng Hao and Su Miaomiao truly observed Ji Bo's every move. The old man was exceptionally diligent and deeply cared for them.
Empathizing with him.
They continuously urged him to rest.
Seeing their repeated insistence and his own urging to rest, Ji Bo reluctantly agreed.
However, after sitting by the carriage for a while, if he saw any subordinates not doing their jobs well, he would be up and about again in the blink of an eye.
Su Miaomiao, holding a cup of water for the old man, turned to see only his swiftly retreating back, and was dumbfounded, "Oh my, Ji Bo is too fast! I haven't even said a few words, and he's gone again."
Cheng Hao looked up from his book at her words. Indeed, the old man had left again. He could only say helplessly, "Let it be, let it be. The old man can't sit still. Forcing him to sit will only make him uncomfortable. Let him go. We'll let him drink when he comes back."
Su Miaomiao reluctantly placed the water aside, expressing her immense admiration. In this weather, she felt too lazy to even move, yet Ji Bo was still restless.
