Chapter Twenty-Eight: Encounter Again
Because of looking at General Wei's depressed appearance, Yao Yanyu was in a good mood. As soon as she was in a good mood, she remembered women's clothes, so she chose a pink and green skirt to change into.
The skirt is seventy percent new, the cocoon silk skirt is a group of lotus flowers carefully embroidered by Suzhou embroidery, the upper body is a light purple tribute yarn waist-length short shirt, the embroidery on the shirt and the lotus on the skirt echo up and down, the pink, green and light purple two delicate colors into a whole.
Yao Yanyu didn't like curling her hair, so she braided her waist-length hair into a loose twisted braid and pulled it diagonally from her shoulders to her chest, which was a little bit of a little girl's shyness. When Wei Zhang saw it, he remembered the year he first met her.
"Let's go." Yao Yanyu looked at Wei Zhang in a daze, stepped forward and grabbed his arm.
Wei Zhang nodded, and suddenly nervously pulled out his arm, changed it to support her, and told him uneasily: "When you get to the mountains and forests later, you are not allowed to run around, you must be obedient, you must be obedient, you know?" ”
Yao Yanyu gave him an infinitely beautiful white eye, but did not agree.
Originally, Wei Zhang wanted to go around the mountains by himself, get some fresh ingredients and give them to the cook, but he couldn't even use half an hour to come and go, and he would never delay breakfast. But now that Yao Yanyu is also following, the situation is very different.
Xiangzhi must follow to serve, and Wei Zhang also called Xu Shiyang and his wife. The intention of calling this couple is obvious, Xu Shiyang, who is responsible for catching pheasants or something, the Lu family is a person who has had children, and they are more experienced no matter what.
And Wei Zhang himself didn't think about him for a long time, just be able to follow Yao Yanyu to prevent her from running away disobediently.
Yao Yanyu felt funny when she saw a burden hanging on Xiang Zhi's arm: "We went to pick mushrooms, not to escape." What are you doing with such a big baggage? ”
"It rained last night, and the mountains were wet and cold, so the slave and maid should bring a cushion, and if the lady is tired of walking, she can sit down and rest."
"What else? This kettle? And this snack? Are you sure it's not a fugitive? ”
"What if the lady is hungry and thirsty? Anyway, it's prepared. ”
Yao Yanyu sighed and shook her head helplessly: "You do have the potential to be an old mother." ”
Xiangzhi smiled and nodded: "The slave is going to be an old mother for the little master." ”
Yao Yanyu immediately glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense everywhere." ”
"Ah, yes, got it." Xiangzhi stuck out her tongue and hurriedly agreed.
After a night of rain, the air in the mountains and forests is particularly fresh, everything seems to have been washed in water, and the sky and grass are fresh colors.
Wei Zhang was worried that the stone road was slippery at first, so he only helped Yao Yanyu to stay an inch, and when he reached the forest, he was worried that the grass was wet and wet her shoes, so he simply bent down and picked her up, strode to a stone that was exposed to the shade of the tree and covered by the morning sun, and asked Xiang Zhi to lay the cushion and put the person on it, and then sat next to him himself.
"Aren't you going to catch pheasants?" Yao Yanyu looked at someone who was there with the old god next to her and asked.
Wei Zhang squinted at the blue sky and said, "Xu Shiyang has gone." ”
"Then I'm going to pick mushrooms."
"Let Xu Shiyang and his daughter-in-law get it done."
"You man!" Yao Yanyu glared at him angrily.
"Didn't you just want to come out and breathe? Besides, what shoes do you wear? Want to step in the mud? Wei Zhang's gaze swept over Yao Yanyu's heavenly feet.
In order to match this skirt, Yao Yanyu wore a pair of blue embroidered colorful butterfly shoes today, with satin uppers and Ge Buna soles. This is still Mama Feng's needlework. Usually Yao Yanyu wears men's clothes, and she also wears men's soap boots, stepping on them in the water and mud, but today these shoes are really reluctant.
"Hey! Sandals should be worn. Yao Yanyu turned sideways and lay on Wei Zhang's shoulder, no longer bothering to pick mushrooms.
Wei Zhang hurriedly stretched out his arm to hold the person, bowed his head and asked, "What sandals?" ”
Yao Yanyu closed her eyes and shook her head: "No, I'm talking about leather boots." ”
"What kind of leather boots do you wear on such a hot day?" Wei Zhang felt uncomfortable leaning on him like this, so he simply reached out and hugged the person to his lap.
There was a pair of slender figures on the forest path walking one after the other, the one in front of him was obviously petite, and after turning a big tree with a thick hug, he saw the two people hugging each other on the bluestone here, and he paused and laughed softly.
"County Lord, over there are General Wei and his wife." The night lady who followed behind 'reminded'.
"I'm not blind." Yun Yao turned the long sword in his hand and threw it behind him.
Ye Yan raised his hand to catch the sword, and followed Yun Yao to this side worriedly.
"It's so early for the county lord!" Yao Yanyu had already heard the conversation between the two over there, and she didn't need to open her eyes to greet Yun Yao.
Yun Yao walked up to the two of them and chuckled, "You guys are really interesting, isn't it good to sleep in the house?" It's wet and cold to run here, what are you sleeping? ”
"The air here is so good! There are also bird calls. Doesn't the princess think it's a pleasant thing to wake up to the birds? Yao Yanyu stretched, sat up straight, and then patted the cushion beside her: "The county lord is going to practice swords, right?" Sit down and rest, I've got something to eat and drink here. ”
Yun Yao glanced at Wei Zhang, but sat down on the bluestone opposite, raised her chin towards Yao Yanyu, and asked, "I heard that you haven't been in good health lately?" What's the matter, can you cure the diseases of the people of the world but not take care of yourself? ”
Yao Yanyu smiled and said, "What's the matter, I'm just afraid of the heat." It's good to be over this summer. Lord Xie was concerned. ”
"The ghost weather here is really uncomfortable. But I won't be able to stay long. Yun Yao said, looking north.
The yellow box has been sent back to the capital for half a month, and there should be news on how to deal with things here. In Yun Yao's opinion, the emperor is not in good health, and he can't do without Yao Yanyu at all, and it is a sure thing to order her to return to Beijing.
Xu Shiyang quickly came back from hunting two wild pheasants and caught two wild pigeons. And the Lu family also picked a basket full of mushrooms, and if the soup is stewed, I am afraid that more than ten or twenty people will be enough.
"Let's go back." Wei Zhang hugged Yao Yanyu up.
In front of Yun Yao, Yao Yanyu was still very embarrassed, but she tried to struggle, but she couldn't break away at all, so she had to be carried to the forest path with a red face before settling down.
"Madame's shoes are still wet." Xiang Xue naturally knew that her wife would be embarrassed, so she helped to clear it up.
Yun Yao smiled faintly, she didn't have the same knowledge as a little girl to expose some people's dramas.
The pheasant soup must be noon, and the breakfast is a light side dish that can no longer be light, to be exact, the small pickles brought by the chef from Jiangning, and the ham and vegetable porridge. Originally, Yao Yanyu liked to eat fish fillet porridge very much, but recently she has a bad appetite and doesn't like to eat fish. The cook touched the master's mind and specially stewed ham and vegetable porridge for her.
The ham and scallops are boiled in a clay pot with rice, and when the rice grains are boiled, they are cut into a handful of green vegetables and sprinkled into them, which are fragrant and green, and make people have an appetite when they look at them.
I don't know if Yun Yao has been training in Jinlin, the largest and most complete spy agency of the Great Cloud Dynasty, in the past two years, her estimation of some things is surprisingly accurate. The emperor's will really arrived after lunch.
The emperor's meaning is very simple, the case related to Yun Jin's law must be thoroughly investigated, and all the officials in Huguang and the surrounding prefectures and counties who are involved in it will be dismissed from their posts and escorted to the criminal department, including Gu Yuntong, who will also be dismissed and escorted to the capital to discuss the crime. He also ordered Han Entropy Ge to be the governor of Huguang, the prime minister of Huguang military affairs, and Sun Yu, the squire of the Ministry of Foreign Rites, to replace Gu Yuntong as the political envoy of Huguang.
In this way, the Huguang area was in charge of political affairs by Han Entropy, Sun Yu and Yao Yanen.
Although Sun Yu is Su Yuan's father-in-law, he is not in harmony with Yao Yuanzhi, and Yao Yanen is a junior, so Sun Yu can naturally suppress him. But the Zhenguo Mansion has a good relationship with the Yao family, so Sun Yu doesn't dare to be too presumptuous. This arrangement allowed the governors of Huguang to restrain each other, lest the land of Huguang become someone's hall of words.
It can be seen that although the emperor is seriously ill at this time, he is not confused.
In addition, the emperor ordered Wei Zhang to take the Lie Eagle Guard to escort Yun Jin and the officials involved in the case of Huguang to Beijing for trial, and other merchants who had no official position were tried jointly by Sun Yu and Yao Yanen, and the crime was discussed according to the "Dayun Law Order".
The emperor also had a separate holy decree to Yao Yanyu, the will probably said that the matter of Chenggong had ended, filial piety in her heart, not in words, and praised her for going to Jiazhou to treat the victims, saying that she knew how to take justice as the most important thing in case of trouble, and I was very relieved, and then ordered her to return to Beijing with Weizhang when the court was employing people.
As soon as the oracle arrived, everyone naturally had to do what they were told. Yao Yan ordered Xiangzhi and others to immediately pack their things, load the car and ship, and prepare to return to Beijing. However, Han Entropy was a little worried, and called Yun Yao forward and said, "You came with Mrs. Fuguo, and now that she wants to go back, you can go back with her." ”
Yun Yao's mouth flattened, and she said unhappily: "I won't go back." ”
"There's nothing going on here, and it's boring for you to stay. Besides, you've been out for so long, your seventh uncle and aunt must miss you. ”
"I often have letters back, and my father and mother should be relieved." When she came, it was her and Yao Yanyu, two women, even if they were not very harmonious, but at least they were not awkward. But this time the couple went back together, what was it to follow by themselves? So Yun Yao made up her mind not to go back with Yao Yanyu.
"This is foolish! What is the use of letters? Don't you worry about your mother's body? Her eyes are better, if she is crying every day because of her heart, it will definitely be bad again. Han Entropy was very helpless about this cousin.
Yun Yao was a little hesitant, although she has a strong temperament and is strong in everything, but in the end, she is her daughter's family. And Princess Cheng has always been obedient to her, and she loves her the most, no matter how stupid she is, she knows how to honor her mother.
Seeing her hesitate, Han Chengge immediately decided: "That's it, your two thousand Jinlin guards will leave me a thousand, and you can take more precautions against those important criminals on the way back to the thousand." ”
"Then, what about the things in Miao Po's village?" Yun Yao asked uneasily.
Han Entropy immediately agreed: "Isn't it just to build them a road that can allow the carriage to go up the mountain?" It's up to me. Okay, right? ”
So, Yun Yao had no objections, so she had to follow Han Chengge's arrangement and return to Beijing with Weizhang Yao Yanyu.
When I came, there were big burdens and small burdens, big boxes and small boxes were tossed for many days, and when I went back, there were more people and things, so naturally I had to clean up. However, Yao Yanyu doesn't have to worry about these things, she is only responsible for maintaining a good mood every day, just eating and drinking well and sleeping well, and she doesn't care about other big and small things, naturally someone will take care of her clearly.
After that, she chose a day to come to the cemetery to worship incense, say goodbye to her teacher, and call the tomb keeper Yao Yanen found for her to give instructions. He also called the tenants of the grange and told them that the bamboo buildings in the bamboo forest could be inhabited by them, but they must be well cared for and repaired and maintained from time to time.
Yao Yanen specially ordered someone to check the auspicious day of the zodiac and chose to leave on June 26. Wei Zhang took Yao Yanyu to say goodbye to Han Entropy, Ge Yao, Yanen and others at the Huzhou Wharf, and rushed to the capital by water.
As soon as the boat left the dock, Yao Yanyu's previous discomfort doubled up. I just didn't want to eat before, I was too lazy to move, and I have been vomiting a lot in the past two days. No, as soon as Xiang Zhi and the others put lunch on the table, Yao Yanyu smelled a greasy smell, and turned around and retched.
Wei Zhang looked at a plate of fragrant shrimp on the small kang table, frowned and said, "How can you make this dish?" I don't know if Madame can't smell greasy? ”
Xiang Zhi sighed helplessly: "This dish was made in the kitchen by Madame in the morning. ”
"Pull down, pull down!" Wei Zhang rubbed Yao Yanyu's back and commanded coldly.
"Yes." How dare Xiang Xue say more, and hurriedly removed the plate of shrimp.
Yao Yanyu's stomach was empty, and she naturally couldn't vomit anything, but at this time, she had no appetite at all, so she only turned around and leaned on the couch with her face up and closed her eyes to recuperate. Wei Zhang sighed helplessly, and asked with a bowl of clear porridge: "Why don't you drink some porridge first?" ”
Yao Yanyu shook her head and pushed away the spoon handed over by Wei Zhang.
Wei Zhang threw the spoon into the bowl in frustration, helpless.
Yun Yao on another passenger boat had lunch, and after the boat was ventilated, she looked up and saw a maid next to Yao Yanyu on the opposite boat coming out of the cabin with a plate of cooked shrimp and going to the small cabin next to the people to eat.
Yun Yao's eyes were sharp, and she had already seen that the plate of shrimp had not been moved, so she couldn't help but smile and said to the night lady next to her: "Our Mrs. Fuguo is getting more and more delicate, it seems that any delicious and delicious food is not to her liking, I think I will toss the cook over there to death." ”
Ye Yan was kind, and it was not good to say bad things about Yao Yanyu, so he only said: "My subordinates heard that Mrs. Yao is sick." ”
"Well, she is not in good spirits, she has been picking and choosing from meals for a few days, and she has lost a lot of weight. It's just that she herself is a miracle doctor, and she naturally knows how to maintain health. How can you get sick? Yun Yao frowned.
Yeqi said helplessly: "This subordinate doesn't know either. The mouths of the maids were tighter and tighter. ”
Yun Yao nodded and didn't speak. Ye Yan said that it was naturally good, and the mouths of the maids were very tight, but whenever it involved her master, she refused to say a word.
The two of them stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the scenery on both sides of the river, and Ye Yan pointed to a bare embankment in front of him and sighed: "In front is the Jiazhou Wharf." The county lord saw that the newly built embankment had not even had time to plant trees. ”
Yun Yao nodded and said, "There are not many vegetables on the boat, tell them to dock at the Jiazhou Wharf, and let's go down for a walk." ”
Ye Yan agreed, turned around and ordered a Jinlin guard behind him: "Go and tell General Wei, the county lord wants to stop at the Jiazhou Wharf in front." ”
Jin Linwei agreed, turned and left.
Hearing that he arrived at the Jiazhou Wharf, Wei Zhang also thought that he should dock to see what to eat and prepare for it. Xiang Zhi also went to inform the cook, and when she arrived at the dock, she would go down to buy some fresh vegetables.
Jiazhou Pier has returned to normal use, but it is not as prosperous as it used to be. The whole of Jiazhou was washed away by the floods, and now although the flood has receded, the reconstruction project is huge, and the ground in Jiazhou is still full of homeless people. The weather was hot, and the porters on the dock didn't know where to hide, but as soon as the big ship landed, these people immediately ran out, trying to solicit a little business in exchange for a bite to eat.
You must know that although it is not uncommon for such large ships to travel on the river, it is very rare to dock in Jiazhou nowadays. Without him, because Jiazhou is not the Jiazhou of the day, in addition to asking for food, those who sell their sons and daughters here, those merchant ships can't hide, who can dock here to find trouble?
However, they are not exactly refugees, and some of them come to sell wild fruits and vegetables, but the prices are to death.
When Yun Yao got off the boat, she happened to meet Xiang Zhi and the cook, because she glanced back at the cabin and asked, "Your wife doesn't come down for a walk?" ”
"Thank you for your concern, my wife didn't sleep well last night, and she was a little seasick just now, and she just fell asleep now." Xiang Zhi smiled sweetly and replied.
"Seasickness?" Didn't you come well? Eat and drink well and everything on board. Yun Yao frowned and said, "Such a big ship is still dizzy?" I hadn't heard of her seasick before. ”
Xiang Zhi sighed helplessly: "Yes." It may be that when I was treating the victims in Jiazhou a few days ago, I was too bumpy when I took a small boat to treat the victims, and I was tired for days, my wife has been in poor health these days, and she is dizzy at every turn. ”
"Aren't you well versed in all kinds of miracle medicines? Didn't get some medicine to prevent seasickness or something? Yun Yao was still skeptical.
"I'm not afraid of the county lord's jokes, we really don't have this medicine." As she spoke, she looked up and saw an old woman buying melons, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Yun Yao pursed her lips, and when she turned her head, she saw a man in a white fine linen robe sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a guise beside him, with six big words written on it: "Specializing in the treatment of incurable diseases". But the man had no intention of soliciting business, and only looked down at the book.
Yun Yao glanced at the herb that was buying the gourd over there, and then turned around and walked over to the man who specialized in treating incurable diseases.
"Hey!" Yun Yao stood still in front of the man and lightly tapped her toes.
Hua Xilu, who was reading a book and was fascinated, snorted dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter?" ”
"Can you cure seasickness?" Yun Yao didn't talk nonsense with him either, and went straight to the point.
Hua Xixuan impatiently pointed to the pretense beside him and motioned for Yun Yao to look at it herself.
Yun Yao was extremely dissatisfied with this casual attitude, squatted down and pulled the book in Hua Xixuan's hand, and asked unhappily, "Are you dumb?" ”
"What are you doing? Give me back the book! Hua Xixuan is also a stinky and hard temper, the most jealous of the rich and hateful of the noble, looking up and seeing a person like Yun Yao, the anger does not come to one place, "The rich and noble do not diagnose!" Let's go. ”
"What do you say? You repeat? "Yun Yao was furious, this thing is too rampant, right?
"Are you deaf?" Hua Xi snorted disdainfully, stretched out his hand towards Yun Yao and hooked his fingers: "Give me back the book." ”
"Good!" Yun Yao raised her eyebrows and squeezed a sneer from the corner of her mouth: "Good courage!" In this era, it is really rare for people to hate wealth and nobility so much. ”
Hua Xixuan looked at the person in front of him seriously, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, although he was dressed in ordinary silk satin men's clothes, but he was extravagant in his gestures, so he concluded that this person was by no means an ordinary rich businessman, and he was not the son of a high-ranking official of that family.
But so what? He is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and his mother was his scruple before, and now his mother also died in the flood, he is alone, what else is there to be afraid of? So he frowned, and said angrily: "The book is returned to me, why should you go!" ”
"Bold! You and other grass people dare to be disrespectful to my master! One of the guards behind Yun Yao was immediately unhappy. The lord humiliated his ministers to death, and the county lord is now his master, and if someone dares to insult his master, if he is indifferent, he should die.
Yun Yao waved her hand, signaling that the guards didn't need to be angry. She smiled slightly: "I sincerely seek medical treatment with you, but you are on the shelf?" If the rich and noble are not treated, are you sitting here and transferring them to the poor people for free medical treatment? ”
"Of course." Hua Xi said awe-inspiringly: "Otherwise, you will sell myself here?" ”
Yun Yao was stunned, obviously she didn't expect this product to be so single.
Hua Xixuan saw that the other party was stunned, so he snorted proudly: "I am here to treat the poor people who can't afford to pay for the disease." Don't take a penny, don't even ask for money for medicinal materials. Of course, as long as I have it here. As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to some half-dried herbs drying beside him.
However, Hua Xixuan's smugness did not last for a moment, and was interrupted by a faint chuckle, accompanied by Xue Tian's disdain: "Yo! Isn't this Mr. Xiao Hua, known as the 'reincarnation of Hua Tuo'? ”
Yun Yao glanced back at Xiang Zhi, and then looked at the ghost-like expression of the guy who was still aggressive just now, and couldn't help but smile: "Xiang Zhi, do you know him?" ”
"Yes, the slave was fortunate to have a few words with 'Xiao Huatuo' when she was in Jiazhou for disaster relief." After Xiang Xue replied to Yun Yao's words, she looked at Hua Xilu with a smile and sighed: "The slave maid thought that Mr. Hua had a better place to go without saying goodbye in a fit of anger, but it was really unfortunate that I met him at this Jiazhou wharf again." ”
Saying goodbye at the beginning was naturally a piece of Hua Xixuan's heart, and he also felt embarrassed when he met Xiangzhi at this time. It's just that he Hua Xixuan has never been willing to be controlled by people's temperament, when he even slapped his ass and stood up, he waved his hand towards Xiangzhi: "Don't say goodbye that day, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely apologize like a lady in person." ”
