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!"
When Abao's cough subsided, he waved his little hand and said, "It's because of mother's hard work. She is already very busy and she still has to take care of me!"
Chu Yiqing felt warm in his heart and stroked A Bao's soft hair lovingly. This child was really sensible when he was sensible, but he was really a headache when he was naughty!
"You're the only one who's sweet!" Mrs. Huangfu nodded at Abao's forehead and smiled.
Chu Yiqing also smiled knowingly, and raised his voice to give orders to Fifteen: "Fifteen, go directly back to Shangjia Village!"
"Yes, miss!" Shishi agreed quickly, and everyone returned to Shangjia Village first.
Due to the rush of returning this time, Chu Yiqing did not inform Jin Yu. The group of people got closer and closer to Shangjia Village, and they felt more and more when looking at the familiar scenery.
"Yiqing, look, why are there so many houses built by the river?" Suddenly, Mrs. Huangfu pointed to a row of houses by the river and said, "When we left, it was still a wasteland with nothing.
!”
Chu Yiqing stretched out his head to take a look, and sure enough, about six houses were built beside the single-plank bridge that originally led from Shangjia Village to Liangjia Village, right next to the fish shed where Li Laoer watched.
"I don't know who built it, and I don't know if it will affect the fish!" Mrs. Huangfu said worriedly.
"Mom, we're still far apart, it's okay!" Just as he was talking, he heard Li Lin's voice: "Oh, isn't this Shi Shi and Ying Qian? Why are you back?"
As soon as Mrs. Huangfu heard Li Lin's voice, she quickly stretched out her head and greeted enthusiastically: "Ms. Tieshuan, we are back!"
When Li Lin saw it, he quickly put down the shovel on his shoulder, stepped forward and said, "I was looking at it from a distance just now, wondering whose carriage this was. I couldn't believe it when I saw Shi Shi and Ying Qian.
, Come back soon, I won’t say anything anymore, I’ll tell Jinyu to go!”
Li Lin said, picked up the shovel and ran towards the village.
"Tie Shuan Niang, please slow down!" Mrs. Huangfu's face was full of joy, "It's better to live in your own home, everything you look at feels friendly!"
A Bao also joined in the fun and insisted on getting down to the ground to run away by himself. Chu Yiqing had no choice but to come down with him and slowly walk along the embankment towards the village.
"Miss Chu is back, Miss Chu is back!" When the children in the village saw Chu Yiqing and A Bao, they all gathered around and followed the carriage. Chu Yiqing asked Yingqian to get some luggage from the carriage and caught Lu.
The city's unique candy was distributed to them.
"Miss Chu is back? I haven't been out for a short time this time!" As soon as we entered the village, people kept saying hello, and everyone had smiles on their faces. Several familiar people even made an appointment to follow them to the house to ask for help.
Loading and unloading luggage!
As they approached the house, they saw Jin Yu responding hurriedly. This time it was different from last time. Zhou Zheng was dressed up and had noodles on his hands. As soon as he came up, he hugged A Bao and looked at it carefully.
He said happily: "A Bao, you have grown taller again, and you have also gained weight. It's okay, okay, it's okay!"
Only then did Chu Yiqing remember that the last time Abao was kidnapped by Diao San, she never came back. Jin Yu had been feeling uneasy!
"Auntie! A Bao misses you so much!" A Bao said sweetly while holding Jin Yu's neck.
"Auntie misses you too!" Jin Yu picked up Jin Yu and called to the villagers who came to help, "Come for dinner later in the afternoon. My sister is back. I killed chickens and fish. It's all good food!"
The helping villager smiled and said: "I won't eat today, but I will have a big meal another day!"
Jin Yu and Mrs. Huangfu supported us, and the villagers also understood the situation and helped unload their luggage. After sitting for a while, they all left.
"Sister, let's go into the house!" After sending the person away, Jin Yu held A Bao in one hand and held Chu Yiqing in the other and entered the house.
"Prince of the Sun family, make a bowl of tea for my sister! Mom, you should rest quickly. I'll have someone take care of you later!" Jin Yu quickly gathered.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Sister Jinyu, I haven't been back these days, do you treat me as a guest?"
Jin Yu chuckled: "You're not used to being polite to you, okay, I won't be polite!"
Chu Yiqing smiled lightly.
"By the way, sister, where did you get so much land? Oh my mother, when Father Maixiang got the land deed back that day, I was dazzled by it. Weren't those lands stolen?" Jin Yu said loudly.
, "I asked Maixiang daddy, and after asking for a long time, I couldn't come up with anything. What's going on?"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Sister Jinyu, if you can rob it, it is our land and it is absolutely clean. Don't worry! By the way, where did Brother Zhao go?"
"Aren't you busy working in those places? Today I will go to another place and I will go to another place. Who knows where it is! But he will ask shopkeeper Lin to send someone to deliver a letter every two days. Maybe there will be a letter tomorrow morning!" Jin Yu said while
Holding A Bao in his arms, he said, "Although I received a letter from you saying that everything is fine and that Mom can go, I still feel uneasy. Now that I see you with my own eyes, I feel relieved!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Sister Jinyu, don't worry, everything is fine!"
Jin Yu nodded, "Yes, these days are getting better and better. By the way, when you came here, did you see those houses by the bridge? They were built by Tieshuan's house. Brother Li no longer lives in the original house.
The whole family has moved to the river, which is cleaner! It also saves Mother Tieshuan from being upset when she hears the excitement next door during the New Year and the holidays!"
It turns out that it was built by Li Lao'er's family. This is good because it makes it easier to manage the fish in the river.
"I've only been gone for two months, and the changes are quite big!" Chu Yiqing drank tea while listening to Jin Yu talk about the household affairs. Whose family has started raising pigs, whose daughter is getting engaged, and which family she has chosen.
, and finally said to Mrs. Huangfu: "Mom, the second uncle and his family are back, but Mr. Lin has died in prison. Only the second uncle and the eldest son are back! The eldest son's wife is getting married with her child!"
Mrs. Huangfu was startled and asked urgently: "Did he come to trouble you?"
Jin Yu shook his head: "He doesn't dare. We have so many servants and guards at home, but he dares! Now that the second uncle has become more honest, he takes the eldest and the two of them up the mountain to catch a rabbit or something. They eat the first meal but not the next one. It's very pitiful.
! The people in the village see him as pitiful, and sometimes help them a little, after all, they are from their own village!"
Mrs. Huangfu suddenly stood up and said: "Jinyu, don't worry about their family's affairs. You have to be more careful from now on. Be honest now. You may hold it in for a long time. In short, don't cause any more trouble to your sister!"
Mrs. Huangfu stood up as she spoke, "I'm tired, so go lie down for a while and call me when you're eating!"
Jin Yu stared blankly at Mrs. Huangfu entering the door, and couldn't help but ask Xiang Chu Yiqing: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Do you still remember your second uncle forcing my father to death?"
