Li Huang sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and looked back at the confident Chu Zhantian, and smiled slowly.
"Master, Chu Zhantian also invited reinforcements this time!" Lei Lei rode close to the carriage and looked back at Chu Huan who was following Chu Zhantian. Along the way, Chu Huan was very energetic and often
With a smile on his face, he is still joking with others in a leisurely manner!
Li Huang looked at Chu Huan, his eyes darkened slightly. Chu Huan, sometimes he was really jealous of him, because his mind was filled with memories of the past eighteen years with Chu Yiqing!
"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, Chu Huan said something to his entourage. The two fell behind the team, got off their horses, pointed to a stall on the street and asked, "Are these wild berries?"
"Sir, these are wild berries. I went up the mountain before dawn today and just picked them. They are fresh. Would you like to try them, sir?" the woman wearing a white headscarf said quickly.
"No, how much is the total, I want it all!" Chu Huan whispered, casually throwing a piece of silver into the lady's basket.
"Really? Thank you so much!" The woman quickly wrapped up the wild berries happily and stepped forward to hand them to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan got on his horse, his face full of joy, "I remember Qing'er had eaten this kind of wild berry before and said it was delicious, but it's a pity that I only saw one selling it once!"
Chu Zhantian looked back and nodded lightly, "Qing'er will definitely like it when she sees it!"
Chu Huan was stunned. This seemed to be the first time Chu Zhantian spoke to him so gently. He couldn't help but feel flattered.
Lei Lei turned around and smiled: "Sir, Chu Zhantian's ability to bend and stretch is really not small!"
Li Huang said softly: "Okay, stop talking nonsense!" After saying that, he closed the curtain and slowly raised the corners of his lips. Although he was jealous of the years when Chu Huan and Chu Yiqing were together, sometimes
He was also afraid of Chu Huan's position in Chu Yiqing's heart, but he was very sure that no one could stop the path Chu Yiqing was going to take, neither Chu Huan, who had been with Chu Yiqing for eighteen years, nor himself!
Pan Yulang stood in front of the carriage and looked at Mrs. Huangfu on the carriage with some hesitation.
"If you have anything to do, let's talk about it when we get back. It's getting late and we have to hurry!" Mrs. Huangfu said with some displeasure.
"Cousin, it's an important matter!" Although Pan Yulang felt guilty, he still persisted.
Chu Yiqing whispered: "Mom, maybe something really happened, you should go and ask!"
Old Mrs. Huangfu got off the carriage, pulled Pan Yulang aside, and whispered: "What else is there? Didn't we all say everything that needs to be said last night?"
Pan Yulang lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "I still want Youzhi to stay. At Youzhi's age, it is difficult to drive for such a long journey. How about I go?"
Mrs. Huangfu said displeasedly: "Is this the reason?"
Pan Yulang nodded, "Cousin, I'm just worried that something might happen to Youzhi on the road. Our Pan family is the only one there!"
Mrs. Huangfu hesitated for a moment and said displeasedly: "Just wait!"
At this moment, Chu Yiqing had already gotten out of the car. When he saw Mrs. Huangfu coming over, he smiled and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with my cousin?"
Mrs. Huangfu mentioned Pan Yulang's worries, and Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Youzhi is not young anymore. He is already fifteen or sixteen, and it's time to get some exercise. How can he do big things if he can't even stand this little thing? But
I won’t force it, since my cousin is worried, forget it, don’t make it difficult for mother!”
Mrs. Huangfu said apologetically: "Yiqing, I wasted your time!"
"It's nothing!" Chu Yiqing comforted: "In that case, let's let my cousin stay with us. He is also old, so let Fifteen drive the car!"
Mrs. Huangfu nodded and looked at Pan Yulang, who quickly nodded happily.
The carriage set off again and walked towards the street entrance. When it reached the main street, it happened to meet Li Huang and others.
"Miss!" Fifteen whispered.
"Fifteen, park the car aside and let them pass!" Chu Yiqing ordered quietly.
"Yes!" Fifteen parked the car aside.
Li Huang, who was sitting in the carriage, seemed to hear something. He opened the curtains and happened to see Chu Yiqing's carriage parked aside. He raised his eyebrows slightly and watched his own carriage go straight past.
At this time, in the early morning, there were not many people on the streets of Lucheng, so Chu Yiqing's two carriages were very eye-catching, and Chu Huan and Chu Zhantian also saw them.
A group of people slowly crossed the carriage and left.
"Fifteen, let's go!" Chu Yiqing whispered after Li Huang and others had walked away.
On the 15th, hurry up and get on the road.
"Yiqing, I just saw that the people on the horse seemed to be your father and your brother!" Mrs. Huangfu said in a low voice.
Chu Yiqing nodded: "Yes, it's because they are coming that I'm on my way in a hurry!"
"The person following the carriage at the front seems to be..." Old Mrs. Huangfu asked again.
"He belongs to Mr. Qi!" Chu Yiqing said with a smile, "Mom, there is actually something I have always wanted to tell you. There is no need to hide it now. In fact, Mr. Qi is the fifth prince!"
Mrs. Huangfu was startled, and opened her mouth in surprise. After a long time, she sighed: "No wonder, no wonder, I have long thought it was strange that you were farming in Chu Han, so why did you alarm the emperor? It turns out it's really because of him.
!Although I had doubted him, I never dared to think about it. I never thought it was true!"
Chu Yiqing took Mrs. Huangfu's hand and said with a smile: "Mom, in fact, some things are simply unavoidable. I originally thought that I could live my own life after leaving the Protector's Mansion, but no matter where I am, I can live my own life.
Chu Han is still in Lucheng, and I have been in this vicious circle, and I have never escaped. Now I also want to understand, since I can't escape, then face it, mother, I know it, you don't have to worry about me!"
Mrs. Huangfu sighed: "You have to walk this road by yourself. I can't help you with anything. Mom is older than you and has walked more roads than you. I just want to advise you. The royal family has never had true feelings. You, still
Take care of yourself!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and looked at the scenery on the street as he walked back bit by bit.
After leaving Lucheng, there was a stretch of tall and short greenhouses. Chu Yiqing took a look at it and sighed: "When we first came here, it was still a wasteland, but within a year, all the greenhouses were built.
Time flies so fast!”
Mrs. Huangfu also cheered up and said: "No, look at how big A Bao is. Thinking about the scene when you drove the bullock cart with one hand and carried the child to my house with the other, it's just like yesterday.
Like!"
"I was also talking about that cow. Last time I went home, Sister Jinyu said it was old and could no longer plow the land. She said she wanted to buy some more strong ones. She was in a hurry at the time and I didn't know if she had sold them or not!" Chu
Yiqing and Mrs. Huangfu were chatting while holding hands with each other, and gradually moved away from Lucheng.
Li Huang deliberately spared a lot of time in the city and went to the Yamen's warehouse first. The sweet potatoes had been out for three days and were already piled everywhere. After the last theft incident, the manpower was increased by 100 yuan.
Guard these sweet potatoes.
"See you, Your Majesty!" Baiyuan Zeng saw Li Huang arriving and hurried forward to salute.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Bai. When will the sweet potatoes be out?" Li Huang nodded lightly and asked.
"It will take at least twenty days, and the maximum yield in one day is 500 acres!" Bai Yuanzeng replied quickly.
"Twenty days, it's too long. Is there any way to speed it up?" Li Huang frowned. Rumors that the treasury was burned have spread throughout the country. Some people have even started to smash ** in remote places. Now we need to do it as soon as possible.
Stabilize the people's hearts!
"Then we need to hire people. Now that the land has been expropriated by the imperial court, there are plenty of idle people!" Bai Yuanzeng quickly replied, "But I'm afraid that if the news spreads, it will attract the attention of interested people. Your Majesty, you also know that now is the time when there is no job.
At that time, coupled with the rumors, people were panicked!"
"What does King Chu think?" Li Huang slowly turned around and looked at Chu Zhantian.
"In my opinion, it's better to ask the yamen from all over Lucheng to send people. These are extraordinary times. If people from the five major families are alarmed..." Chu Zhantian said in a low voice.
Bai Yuanzeng said quickly: "Report to the King of Chu, the lower official has already thought of this method. It's just that the yamen officials are all indifferent to the four bodies and the five grains. This sweet potato seems simple, but there is a way. I'm afraid
That’s not possible!”
"Then hire people. The people will have something to do and it will also stabilize the people's hearts!" Li Huang decided.
Bai Yuanzeng nodded quickly: "Miss Chu thinks so too, but this matter is ultimately decided by the prince!"
As soon as he heard Bai Yuanzeng talking about Chu Yiqing, Chu Huan couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward and asked, "Where is Miss Chu? But she is still working in the fields?"
Bai Yuanzeng quickly shook his head, "Miss Chu returned to Chu Han today. She said she was going back to cultivate sweet potato vines. The land in Lucheng was too dry and there were no suitable fields, so Miss Chu had no choice but to go back to Chu Han!"
"Qing'er is gone?" Chu Huan was startled, and the wild berries he was holding rolled to the ground.
Chu Zhantian also looked cold.
"Lord Bai, stop gossiping and get down to business! Your Majesty is waiting!" Li Huang ordered calmly.
Bai Yuanzeng ordered people to do it, and said respectfully: "Fifth prince and King Chu have worked hard. The post station is ready. Should the two princes go to the post station to rest first?"
Li Huang turned around and said to Chu Zhantian with a faint smile: "King Chu, it looks like we have to stay here for a few days until all the sweet potatoes are dug out of the ground before we can leave! Why don't we settle down first?"
Chu Zhantian's expression returned to normal and he nodded, "It all depends on the Fifth Prince!"
Li Huang smiled, got on the carriage, and followed Baiyuan Zeng to the inn.
Because they were worried about the sweet potato vine, Chu Yiqing and his party did not dare to delay for a moment on the road. Fortunately, the carriage was covered with quilts, and there were stoves and some pastries on the carriage behind. Sometimes they missed the store in a hurry, so they
I temporarily slept in the carriage, heated some water, had some snacks, and dealt with it. After walking like this for about three days, I returned to Chuhan. However, because of the bumps and fatigue along the way, A Bao got angry and started to cough.
.
On the day of Chuhan, there was a drizzle. The rain in early spring was different from that in summer. It formed a line and formed a patch. The drizzle in spring was soft, continuous, and as fine as cow hair, and it fell lightly as if it had no weight.
If there is too much, it turns into rain and fog, covering the mountains, rivers and fields.
Chu Yiqing looked out the window through the curtains. Although she was happy that the rain came at the right time, she was also frightened by Abao's occasional cough.
"Mom, let's go back to Shangjia Village first!" Chu Yiqing said, "A Bao is tired after being away for the past three days. Let him go back and rest first. It won't be too late for me to come out!"
Mrs. Huangfu nodded, sighed, hugged A Bao and said bitterly: "Poor child, following your mother all over the world at such a young age!"
