Chapter 83 The scar is healed and the pain is forgotten
The carriage loaded with goods was covered with a layer of raincloth, so it was caught in the rain for a while, so the impact was not big. But if it was spent in the wild tonight and was soaked by rain all night, then these goods would basically be scrapped.
Zeng Yan, who was soaked all over, walked through the shed where the carriages were stored in the backyard of the inn. He felt lucky that the princess insisted on continuing on her way, otherwise the shipment would have been ruined.
He also reminded everyone, "Everyone, please check the vehicle to see if there is anything wrong with it. Also, pass the raincloth over a stick of incense and wait until the water on it is dry before lifting it off. Don't be in a hurry to lift the raincloth."
It would be troublesome if the water on the raincoat leaks into the cargo."
"Thank you, Butler Yan, for reminding everyone. The kids have all remembered it."
There was a strong wind and rain, and even in the short distance from the carriage to the door of the inn, half of everyone's body was soaked.
Xia Jing entered the inn and ordered the inn kitchen to boil a pot of ginger soup. Everyone drank from one bowl to avoid catching the cold even if they were caught in the rain.
Everyone was on the road in a hurry, sweating all over and being drenched in the rain. If the coldness in the body was not removed, many people might fall ill tomorrow.
Especially the children at home should always pay attention.
It rained heavily all night and finally stopped at dawn the next day.
Yancheng is located at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, and most of the city is in low-lying areas. After a night of heavy rain, the rainwater could not be drained. Many places in the city were soaked in water, and the water in many places was up to the knees.
Fortunately, the inn where Xia Jing stayed was in Dongcheng District. The terrain was relatively high and there was no accumulation of water.
"Princess, should we continue our journey today or should we rest for a day?" the captain of the guard came and asked.
Xia Jing rolled her eyes at him: "I didn't see that there was water in Xicheng District. I guess there must be water in many places on the road. It's so muddy that it's hard to drive. Rather than delaying on the road, it's better to rest in Yancheng for a day and let the water flow.
Everyone, please take a good rest and regain your strength!”
The captain of the guard scratched his head: "Then I will rest for a day, and then I will go down and inform everyone."
"Well, go ahead."
After leaving the door, the captain of the guard looked up at the clear blue sky. It was a sunny day again today. It would be a good idea to rest for a day. The road conditions would be much better tomorrow if the sun was shining for a day.
Zeng Yan had already guessed that Xia Jing would not be in a hurry. He got up early in the morning and arranged for someone to contact the warehouse manager in Yancheng. They were ready to sell all the goods they brought this time.
Coupled with the heavy rain in Yancheng last night, many places were soaked with water, and many supplies must be in short supply.
It just so happens that their goods are on sale here, so I think they can get a good price.
Xia Jing came out of the guest room after breakfast and saw a luxury carriage leaving the inn, so she curiously asked, "Who is here so early in the morning?"
Hongmei didn't know the specific situation. She turned around and asked the guard standing at the door, "Whose carriage just left?"
The guard answered truthfully: "The county magistrate wants to pick up the prince, and the carriage just now was sent to pick up the prince."
The corner of Xia Jing's mouth twitched. It was worth coming to pick her up early in the morning. In her opinion, the county magistrate had other plans.
Of course, Xia Jing had never worried about Prince Qian's personal safety. In Yancheng, the county magistrate did not have the courage to murder the prince.
The sun was shining brightly in the morning, then the wind started blowing again in the afternoon, and in the evening it started to rain again.
"Yes, the sun was shining in vain today." Bai Mei glared fiercely at the dark night sky and closed the open wooden window.
Hongmei was arranging her clothes and said, "Princess, I'm afraid we will be delayed for another day tomorrow."
Xia Jing's eyes were glued to the medical book and she replied without raising her head: "If it rains, we can't control it. Let's just wait for one day."
Seeing that she was reading so seriously, Hongmei asked with a smile: "You have been reading medical books all the way. How much have you learned? Can you treat people?"
This time Xia Jing raised her head, "I really don't know if I can see a doctor."
After a slight pause, Xia Jing put down her medical book and waved to the two little girls, "Come here, I'll take your pulse."
Hongmei's eyes widened in surprise, "Are you really prepared to check your pulse and see a doctor?"
She said this, but her movements were not slow at all. She sat down opposite Xia Jing and stretched out her hand.
Xia Jing tried to feel her pulse, and after a while, she released her wrist.
"How is it? How is your body?"
"Everything is fine. It's just that I'm a little cold in the body. I just need to drink two more bowls of ginger soup."
Seeing that Xia Jing's words were serious, Hongmei didn't refute, she just covered her mouth and snickered.
When it was Hongmei's turn, Xia Jing held her hand for a little longer, and finally let go of her wrist and said, "Baimei's body is cold, so she should feel a little pain during menstruation."
At this time, the two girls looked at Xia Jing in surprise. They didn't expect that they could actually tell the lower veins correctly.
"Princess, do you really know your pulse and see a doctor?"
Xia Jing raised her eyebrows proudly, "Of course! What are the benefits of me lying to you?"
Bai Mei couldn't believe it. She pointed to the medical books Xia Jing put aside, "You can become a doctor by just reading a few books and treat people and prescribe medicines?"
Xia Jing smiled and said nothing.
The light rain didn't stop until midnight, and the road that had been slightly dry yesterday was soaked again.
The sun shone brightly during the day, and it didn't rain again in the evening. Many people in the inn breathed a sigh of relief.
Zeng Yan raised his head and looked at the layers of sunset glow in the sky. He felt relieved now, "The morning glow will not go out, but the sunset glow travels thousands of miles. It should not rain in the next few days."
As Zeng Yan expected, the night passed safely.
This time the team did not purchase goods in Yancheng, so heading south was considered a light and easy journey. I believe the rest of the journey will be easier for everyone.
Since there were many empty carriages carrying goods, the slaves in the team who had been traveling on their own feet could sit on them, which further increased the speed of the team's journey.
"Princess, the prince has not come back yet."
When it was time to set off, Zeng Yan ran to find Xia Jing.
Xia Jing asked calmly: "Did you not come back last night, or did you not come back these two nights?"
Zeng Yan scratched his nose and lowered his head in embarrassment, "I was picked up by the county magistrate the day before yesterday and I haven't come back yet."
"Didn't anyone send someone to inform him that the team was about to set off?"
"At dawn, the uncle went out to invite the prince, but he hasn't come back yet."
What Zeng Yan didn't say was that he had sent someone to invite Li Chengshang before he went out, but he was kicked back without even seeing the prince's face.
Xia Jing's lips curved into a sneer, "Oh, it seems that our prince has so many things to do! He doesn't even have time to see his own son."
"Send two more gentlemen to invite you!"
These two old men are becoming more and more lazy now.
This is not possible, Prince Qian's palace gives them a lot of monthly silver.
Zeng Yan noticed the sneer on the corner of Xia Jing's mouth, which reminded him of the time when the angry princess hit the prince with a stick.
Zeng Yan couldn't help but shrink his neck!
Your Majesty, the scar is really healed and you have forgotten the pain. Just wish yourself good luck this time!
Xia Jing glared coldly, "You're still here, why don't you go?"
"Ah, oh, I will make arrangements now!"
